Logitech Switch panel with the Arrow
-
@Cdr_Maverick I tested the profile you suggested but when it comes to turn off the panel lights it´s not working for me. Monitoring the CENTRE_LOWER_PANEL_LIGHT (LVAR) I noticed it didn't change to 10 when turning on the switch panel.
I was able to fix it though, it is not a good code but it works :)
You add as many lines for LIGHT_POTENTIOMETER_INC (parameter 3) as you want to get the proper light bright in the instruments is best for you. I could no find a single command to replace such coding (unfortunately)
I setup the Cowl switch to turn on/off the cabin light
I cannot share the profile in SpadNext for it's on trial yet, I might buy a license in the near future I hope, its been very useful and gives a new whole set of options to configure the Logitech switch panel.
-
I forgot to mention it only works when TIME OF DAY is 0, 2 or 3 .. if it's 1 the panel light does not turn on.
TIME OF DAY 1 = Daylight
TIME OF DAY 2 = Evening
TIME OF DAY 3 = Night
TIME OF DAY 0 = Morning (before sunlight) -
@anderson if you have a trial then you do not have the SPAD.neXr Beta which is necessary for the LVAR support. That might be the difference. Panel works well for me.

@Cdr_Maverick I’ve got a license, registered before I even used it. I don’t know how to get the Beta though. Care to share?
I’m doing alright with it, but I am still learning. I set up a “Base” profile that works on most of the default planes, then I start a new profile using that Base, and tweaking for the plane I’m flying. I take it that is the correct way to go about it?

@Cdr_Maverick is there a full list of all LVAR's available for the arrow?

@Tigerclaw if you have a licensed copy then you can select the Update Channel:
-
@anderson SPAD.neXt has debugging tools and monitors where you can also find out which variables are available. Also when adding actions you can choose:
-
@Cdr_Maverick Thank you, I will look into this later today. Much appreciated 🙂

@Tigerclaw it took me some time to figure out the reason I could not see the LVAR in SpadNext, if you are still facing the same issue the tip below may save you sometime

@Kaukinen you may change the LVARs values, below follows an example, I have the Avionics switch configure to turn on/off GPS, increase Com1 and Nav1 volume, also turn on kx175 com2 and nav2 and increase their volume as well, and do the same for the other instruments
-
@anderson YesH! Thank you very many, those parameters I was rly looking for...
It was very frustrating to swhitch on all those coms and navs before flight.

For your information, Spadnext LVARs do not work with new World Update IV due ASOBO issue.
Got the information below from official Spadnext channel

Spadnext LVAR bridge fix available @ MS Store

@Martyn said in Logitech Switch panel with the Arrow:
The SET commands should be supported following our update but we'll get the ON/OFF commands added.
Hello Martyn,
Any news on this support?
I just bought a switch panel and it works fine with any default Asobo aircraft but with the Arrow, it's completely messed up.
Turning on one switch turns off another one, so unusable for me.
Cheers, Sylvain
