EdgeTX
Not so much a bug as a switch test missed
Is there an existing issue for this problem?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
What part of EdgeTX is the focus of this bug?
Transmitter firmware
Current Behavior
In the switch test sequence , Radio Settings, Hardware, Switches.... all switches are tested but the P 1 to 6 Butttons are not,
Expected Behavior
Should be included
Steps To Reproduce
Radio Settings, Hardware, Switches
Version
Other (Please specify below)
Transmitter
Radiomaster TX16S
Anything else?
Nightlies I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here but I remember hearing from another user.
I'm not sure if this will happen since the 1-6 buttons are actually an analog input like the pots and sliders which is treated like a set of buttons. So is tested on the analogs page (06 for the TX16S). It would only make sense to do so if we are able to make it so you don't need to also calibrate it along with the other analogs.
Yes I guess you are right there, they aren't quite so obvious in the analogs showing up as only one entry but yes you do need to calibrate them and they are not really switches which you don't have to calibrate.
It should be possible to use them without calibration. There can't be much different in the voltage the 6-POS MCU generates between the different radios.

This is something we should really consider. Calibrating these 6POS is really a pain.
Not to mention that it is impossible to 'Center' an even number of switches.
Since they are discrete analog values they should not be allowed where a true or false is expected.
For instance we can use 6P-1, 6P-2.. to select Flight Modes.
But changing the chicken feet does not change Flight Modes.
Also presently I can't find how to put any 6P, into a widget so it's value can be displayed.
Either treat it like an analog or as 6 true or false values, please!.
Well,I was going to attach .etx to show this, but .etx is not allowed attachment type.
Tested in 2.8.4 EdgeTxCompanion only. ThrSafe.pdf ThrSafe-RM-TX16S-2023July16-Rdy03.zip
