SPAD.neXT CDU Binding?

dadgametime

Sorry, Nick. I put a list of the few after work today. Whoops. Didn’t even think about that.

@dadgametime No worries! Just my sense of humor

I think that the H: and other events will eventually get added to Spad.Next once cOnnex gets around to it. I added the Client Events for most of the autopilot functions, and created a single StreamDeck XL page to match the 10-button A/P panel.

I'm not sure if it's worth publishing Spad.Next snippets for functions that require Client Events, but I'll certainly publish mine. @dadgametime can you do the same for yours?

dadgametime

I will. I still haven’t gotten the ADF button to work, which I cannot understand. I use the variable from the manual and double-checked it with the behavior tool, but it’s the one button that won’t function for me on the CDU. Also trying to change the preselect altitude on the altimeter using my Honeycomb Bravo autopilot knob and it’s not working either. So I’m hoping there will be a snippet for that posted.

There's a couple errors with the event configuration, that one has a typo in it: H:CDU_AfdButton_1

Black Square

Oops. Sorry. Fixed.

The only other one I found is that LVAR:var_FirewallValveCover_L controls the extinguisher cover and LVAR:var_ExtinguisherCover_L controls the firewall cover. The right side LVARs are correct.

@dadgametime

I use ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Inc_1 (and Dec_1) on my alt knob. (had to create Client H events for these).

@dadgametime I just saw and grabbed your SD XL snippet, much appreciated...looks great, though lots not working since I only have a handful of Client Events set up.

However, I was pinging the Spad.Next forum: Les Orielly was able to grab the vars/events from the manual, and will see if he can get the dev to get these imported soon so that we don't have to create all of the Client Events.

I have put ALL the H and K events from the manual into an XML file that can be imported into Spad Next. I just have to double check it all to make sure it's all correct before I share that file for everyone to use.

I hear Spad now has all of the H and K events, so no need to do custom events anymore.

Also, if anyone wondered, the CDU number button events look like this H:CDU_9_1, where the first number is the key number and the last number is 1 for pilot and 2 for co-pilot CDU.
Didn't find these in the manual, had to look through the code.

@Randolf Legend!

(>H:CDU_LetterButton_1)

this might help the next guy, too

I've also had issues in SPAD with the H:MFD_Joystick_[direction] with regard to the checklist. I've been using the MFD_PageAdvance and the MFD_LineAdvance.

*Items can be skipped with the “SKP” line select key, or moving the joystick down. The up arrow line select key, or moving the joystick up, will retreat through the checklist, returning items to their uncompleted state.
*At any time while on the checklist screens, the Course/Heading Panel (CHP) joystick can be moved left or right to traverse all the checklists in the same category in sequence.

Neither of those are working for me as a button press or a button hold on the checklists, it works fine for the map.

@ProfCrash I think someone else presented with that problem, and it was solved by sending H:MFD_Joystick_Center whenever you let go of the bound joystick button for direction.
