Cycle through SubShifts with one button: One K-switch for setting frequency in DCS

Postby Viking » Mon Nov 13, 2023 0:24

I would like to use one one of the K-switches on my SEM to adjust the frequencies in DCS. With the center press I would like to toggle through the different frequency digits and up/down would adjust them. I.e. the center press would need to toggle between up to 5 subshifts (one subshift for one frequency digit).

What is the best way to achieve that? I could not find a way to switch through the different subshifts with one physical button.

Many thanks in advance!

For this there is a Modal Switch function that allows you to multiply buttons. For example, you can make four from one physical encoder by switching to the desired one with a flip switch on the SEM.

Thanks for the feedback! :D

Now, instead of the 4x pos. MODE Switch I would like to use a single button as Modal Switch.

I tried using a Cyclic Switch to toggle through the modes, but that does not work as the Cyclic button press is only momentarily.

Is there a method to toggle through several (virtual) radio buttons with only one physical button?

Now there is such an opportunity. But it is necessary to take into account that the switch button itself will fall out of the list of active buttons.
For example, from the central button SW1 we will make a switch for 3 positions Tempo3A, which switches by short, long and double-click.
Disable all bindings at the logical level - No Function.

If the MODE button has already been assigned as a Modal Switch, then you need to specify the correct number for the configurable one.

It remains only to assign new buttons for the 6th and 8th, which will be triggered when switching.

You can also make an indication of the mode switching, so that you know which one you are in.It is output to the GA module.

Do not forget about setting the time interval for the Tempo Time response, choose a convenient one for yourself.
