Hi all; I would like transform "change buttons" (COM1, COM2, NAV1...) " into "states buttons", to manage exactly the same behaviours (LED, short & long pushes...). Is there any Octavi documentation (or homemade) to know the different bytes/bits to be used, and/or is there an easy way to achieve what I want to do, only using the standard mobiflight release ? Thanks !
#octavi IFR1 / transform "Change buttons" into "Status/LED buttons"

You will need to explain better what do you mean by "change buttons", "state buttons" and "manage exactly the same behaviors". Maybe describe what you want to do.

currently I can turn ON or OFF the btn LED for autopilot buttons but not for the others. Only the FMS1 LED keeps ON whatever I do. ... I think I must modify OctaviHandlers, but for the moment everything I tried does not work 😢 I just found the way to catch the button I press, but I do not succeed to make turn led ON... FMS comes back white and the pressed key turns back OFF. I thing it's because of the for loop...
to sum up, only AP bottom buttons events can be caught when setting the "output behaviours".
actually, status comes always back to FMS1
I think this is the point... but I don't know which instruction to modify.

maybe it is physically wired in the device ?

I don't have Octavi but I seem to remember the MF support for it was initially worked with @iron rock
Have you tried asking Octavi directly?

I don't think the leds are hardwired to the buttons.

yes, we're in contact, but they told me they would talk to their contact... as i'm not really patient... 😉

Doesn't Mobiflight offer the Octavi leds in the output drop down menus?
manic bridge
the "build in dropdown" only contains AP related LEDS
golden wagon
If that is the case, then I think the question is definitely for Octavi support. Maybe Sebastian can help.
iron rock
yeah - only the AP lights are controllable
manic bridge
but... whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ? really no way, even by modifying the opensource project ?
iron rock
the state is handled internally- the firmware of the octavi is not open source afaik
manic bridge
😢
golden wagon
What open source project were you referring to?

is this resolved @manic bridge ?
manic bridge
nope, thus I 'm running with my "mode selector profile"... letting these buttons useless... 😢
