Mix and Flight Phases

Post by Romolo »

At the moment in o9x we may specify on a mix in which FP it's active in the form of FPx or !FPx
While this solution easily allows a single flight phase to include/exclude a mix, when we need to include / exclude the mix in more than one FP we need to duplicate it.
I would suggest changing it a little bit by specifying only active phases allowing a multiple choice, so having a bitmask of phases in which the mix should be activated with the default being all phases
What do you think about?

sure idea is excellent, but how many same mixes in more flight phases we are using?
zero in my models. :(
ok. maybe it will have a good effect on something other than the number of mixes. like the size of Flash, EEPROM, calculation speed ... or better calculation of ofsets ....
I see a big difference there! ;)

I think it is a grand idea! When you fly gliders.. flight phase functionality is usefully. Any enhancement like this will be good.

Indeed, how graphically would we enable / disable the mix for all flight phases? I don't see one line per FP (9 lines on ARM). Would 5/9 checkboxes be ok?

Same as RETA123 for the center beeps. Simply one "F. Phase" line like now, but with 01234[5678], and the mix is active on the highlighted phases.

EDIT: and only 0 highlighted by default?

I agree with kilrah.
That is the simplest and the easiest way...

Perfect! Needs a new "enhancement" issue (for my own stack...).
