IDLE switch for winches

Post by crazykite »

Hi all!
I'm going crazy for getting what I'd like to realize with the IDLE switch.
I must use it with the same logic both for the winch of my scaler, and for the windlass of my tug.

For convenience I only talk about the windlass solution:
ID0 : the anchor goes up
ID1 : everything must remain in position, whatever it is
ID2 : the anchor drops

The problem is that with ID1 the anchor does not stand still in the reached position
but the value of the channel associated to the switch returns to zero.
I also tried to delete the "ID1 line" but nothing changes. Same result using ADD / REPLACE.
The channel I'm using for tests is n.7
Yes I know, I could use a POT but for some reasons I prefer to use the IDLE switch

Thank you

You have 0% of CH7, which is 0% !
You need 100% of CH7 on that mix line to hold position.

"I also tried to delete the "ID1 line" but nothing changes. " :(

Seems like 3 settings on same channel operate on different "logical sum"

EDIT : setting ID1 to +100% makes EPEE crazy :lol: :lol:

try the following:
CH7 100% CH7
R CH7 100% HALF ID0 slow(u10:d5) // Replace mix
R CH7 -100% HALF ID2 slow(U10:d5) // Replace mix

Just for information. The switch you are talking about has nothing to do with idle. It’s usually simply referred to as the “three-position switch”.

The three positions are called ID0, ID1, ID2. Or when the switch is used to control Flight Mode they are called N, 1, 2.
