Arndt777 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hello, I own a Goflight GF-T8 (toggle switch) module and would like to control it by FSUIPC. But so far, I wasn't successful: If I move a switch up, the movement is registered by FSUIPC. So I can align the movement with a command. But if I move the switch down, FSUIPC doesn't register this movement. So I cannot align a command with this movement. So I cannot program a switch with for example "gear up" and "gear down". (this is opposite to the Goflight GF-P8 modules, which have buttons, and which can be programmed by FSUIPC easily) Can anybody help me? Kind regards Arndt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can!!! Look again at the place where you programmed that switch one way. Do you not even see the place below where you can assign the "off" or "release" too? Switch up = on = press, switch down = off = release. (this is opposite to the Goflight GF-P8 modules, which have buttons, and which can be programmed by FSUIPC easily) No, it is identical. with a button, press=on, release=off. There is absolutely no difference. You can in either case program the on/press and the off/release. In both cases electrically they are identical too -- on = current flows, off = current does not flow. Mechanically the difference is that a toggle switch locks in place whilst a button does not. I think you must have skipped too much when you read the User Guide! ;-) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arndt777 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thank you, Pete! I had tried this way some time ago, but without success. Maybe, I made some mistake. But now it is working perfectly. Regards Arndt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
