Small Request for Switch warning

Post by EjectSteve »

If many people are swapping the H (momentary) with the F switches it would be nice if we can set the switch startup warning for H. Of course it's normally not needed since the stock H is momentary. If many mode 2 flyers are swapping without moving the wires, this addition might be useful (but not critical). Since I use H for throttle hold, a warning would be nice, but could be accomplished in other ways.

As far as the SH(down arrow) functions, It's not something that I feel strongly about because I don't use them.

Long term, if cutting and moving the wires is the 'accepted' solution for swapping the F and H switches, then none of this would matter. Perhaps FrSky is planning to give longer switch wires in the future.

The current firmware doesn't handle simple swapping of the switches correctly, some functions are hard-coded knowing that SH is momentary.

Why is the trainer switch always on the right side lately?

What would maybe be good - is label swapping.

So then stick gets physically moved - and just referred to with the name that is in the sticker :)

I think for mode 1 for example is in the right place, but not for mode 2..

True, moving the switches while keeping them connected to the same headers on the main board would work (and as you mention, moving the labels that go with them).

Cutting and extending the wires was what I was hoping to avoid, but certainly would solve the problem. I'm not sure that this is such a big problem that a code change should be considered. I just wanted to bring it up in case others were facing the same issue. And I don't see hundreds of responses with "me too" in this thread.
