Romgere Cockpit Arduino Lib

# Case of use

The ArduinoIncrementalThreePosToggleSwitchControl class allow you to send only 2 different command with a 3 position toggle switch.

It's pretty similar to ArduinoThreePosToggleSwitchControl but the "central position" command is defined depending of the last state (same command repeat).

It's useful, for example with the flap switch of the Beechcraft baron 58, who has 3 positions, when X-Plane give us the ability to only send a "flap up/down" command.

# Code sample

#include "src/RomgereCockpit/Application/CockpitMainApplication.h"
#include "src/RomgereCockpit/CommunicationInterface/EthernetInterface.h"
#include "src/RomgereCockpit/ArduinoControl/ArduinoIncrementalThreePosToggleSwitchControl.h"

CockpitMainApplication  *cockpitApp;
EthernetInterface       *ethernetInterface;

void setup() {
  ethernetInterface = new EthernetInterface( ... );
  cockpitApp = new CockpitMainApplication(ethernetInterface);

  //Declare and bind control with command
  cockpitApp->RegisterInputControl(    
    new ArduinoIncrementalThreePosToggleSwitchControl(6, 7), //Create 3 pos Toggle Switch Control on PIN 6 & 7
    new XPlaneSimpleCommand("sim/flight_controls/flaps_down"), //Send "Flap down" command to X-Plane
    new XPlaneSimpleCommand("sim/flight_controls/flaps_up") //Send "Flap up" command to X-Plane
  );
}

void loop() {
  cockpitApp->Loop();
}

# Options (constructor parameters)

Here is the definition of the ArduinoIncrementalThreePosToggleSwitchControl constructor :

Multi arduino board OFF : ArduinoIncrementalThreePosToggleSwitchControl( uint8_t pin1, uint8_t pin2);

Multi arduino board ON : ArduinoIncrementalThreePosToggleSwitchControl( uint8_t pin1, uint8_t pin2, int boardAddress = -1);

Arguments definition :

  1. uint8_t pin1 : PIN n°1 on which Toggle switch is plug.
  2. uint8_t pin2 : PIN n°2 on which Toggle switch is plug.
  3. int boardAddress (default: -1) : Address of slave board on which xxxx is plug (-1 = plug on main board). Available only if you previously enable the "multi board mode"
