Sioc short press - long press? MCPv2

Post by DoubleC771 »

Hi Roar,

I'm still not firm with Sioc (due to you are managing it for me ;) )

I would like to know if there is a short/long press option with Sioc.
Due to my MCPv2 I'm missing the Intv keys and of course the bank angle option.

Now I thought if it would be possible to add these by using long press on the keys:
Bank angle change - long press on Heading Selector
Spd intv - long press on Speed (or LVL Chg)
Alt intv - long press on Alt Hld (or V/S)

What do you think - can you add it like this?

It can all be done by some clever script modification. There are several script code parts in the existing script that shows how to implement either long presses or double presses. The same method can be applied to any buttons.
These double and long presses are implemented in the code now and can be viewed as examples of how to do.

I do not have the time to do this myself.

MCP
a) A long HDG SW push activates the BANK switch
b) Another long HDG SW push activates the HDG switch
EFISs
a) Double click WPT acts as CTR
b) Double click DATA acts as TF
c) A long MINS push switches between RADIO and BARO mode
d) A long BARO push switches between IN and HPA mode
