Logical switches in EdgeTX are rather like the secret sauce of your quadcopter’s control system—essential and surprisingly complex. Our latest blog post dives into mastering sticky and delay logical switches, ensuring you can maintain a semblance of sanity while achieving precise servo control. For instance, if you fancy having a switch that only moves a servo when your quad is armed and armed with a delay (without an embarrassing mid-air servo flail), you’re in luck.
We take you through a step-by-step process to assign a switch to control a servo channel, lock it to the armed state, and even fix pesky default positions that could lead to chaos. You’ll discover how to use logical switches to introduce delays—because who doesn’t want a few seconds to brace for the worst before disaster strikes?
The pièce de résistance is the sticky logical switch, which ensures that accidental activations are kept at bay. This nifty feature only activates the servo if the control switch has been properly cycled back to the closed position after arming. It’s like having a second pair of eyes on your setup—only less judgemental.
Lastly, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, we tease the concept of global variables for remembering servo positions across disarms. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves; if you’re keen on the technical side, check out Joshua Bardwell’s advanced tutorial for a proper deep dive:
