Trim button as toggle mode for gyro gain was created by yidc
Hi,
I'm using my devo7e for mini cp, but since it doesn't have enough switches, I'm scratching my head to find alternatives for different functions/modes.
I want to make my trim button to make my gyro gain toggle between 50 or 75
I know that trim button can be used as toggle mode (i.e. -100/+100), I've sent up a virtual channel (Virt3) for it to take effect
BUT my gyro gain channel (ch7) either has no effect or simply also toggles between -100 and +100
how can I make use of trim button, virtual channel and other complex mixer to make ch7 toggles between 50 and 75?

We probably need better documentation for this.
I just realized my instructions are incomplete.
To make it work you need to:
That 2nd step is why it isn't working for you.
There are a couple other issues though. You should use Virt3 as a switch rather than an input (since it's value will be -100 to 100)
Here is a fixed up ini (I am not sure I got everything right, but the trims now work)
I just realized my instructions are incomplete.
To make it work you need to:
on the mixer, select the channel from above (Virt1)
set the type to 'complex'
set the src to 'Virt1' (do this BEFORE setting the curve to fixed)
set the Curve to 'fixed'
set the scale to 0
set the trim...

Thanks PB for your answer!!! the trim button now work as expected
btw I changed mux of 2nd page mixer to "add", so now gyro gain (ch7) toggles between 50 and 75 now

I have updated the User's manual with step-by-step instructions for setting up a trim as a virtual switch now. The instructions vary slightly from my previous recommendation to make it a bit more obviuos what is going on.
