Turning off Radio 7 segment displays or Blanking them when cold and dark.

[hollow ermine]

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I have been trying to figure out how to have my 7 segment displays off when the avionics and master switch is off. I ran across a post that Jaime Leon answered earlier this year. Not sure how to link to his comment but it was a great article.

This setup works but 2 things. It gets rid of the 1 on the radios so instead of saying 123.45 it says 234.450 if I leave the transform that is in the config $+10000 then it says transform error. and number 2 is there a way to make the decimal point blank as well or do I just need to turn it off so the face is all blank when cold and dark. Any help would be great thank you!!

Turning off the displays can be done using the Brightness Level setting, simply create a second output config and read the avionics switch position. it will be 1 (on) or 0 (off)

go to the compare tab and activate it and say: if value = 1 then 15 else 0.

you can use this value now for the 7 segment display to control the brightness. there is a drop-down that allows you to select a brightness reference

Did you do this: go to the compare tab and activate it and say: if value = 1 then 15 else 0

yes in the compare tab for the display correct not the new avionics output tab.
