Spoilers

[hali9]

Implement spoilers #4530
Need changes in inav-configurator.

@hali9 2.2 will have logic conditions that allows to activate and deactivate any servo mix rule. The code is already there, and most of configurator is there as well. This means that it will be able to do spoilers, flaps and many other things. Including flaps.
Besides, spoilers can be made with any RC channel passed as separate smix rule.

This also means that some of the flight modes will disappear. Including Flaperon

@DzikuVx How can I achieve the flap function using logic condition?
If I understand this correctly, condition logic turns on or off the smix in mixer.
When I have:
smix 2 4 14 -100 0 0
smix 3 5 14 100 0 0
set has_flaps = ON
set flaperon_throw_offset = 250
then using condition logic I should change to:
smix 2 4 15 -100 1 0 //15-RC channel 9
smix 3 5 15 100 1 0 //1-condition to enable flaps
I must use one additional aux channel 9 with potentiometer to set up flap offset, which must be set before the flight.

We are still missing a ONE input into the mixer. Then, total value can be set using smix rate. If condition that drive flap is off, it results 0. When it's on its one times rule rate. Or rather will be when it will be finally done sob., 23 mar 2019, 23:05 użytkownik hali9 <notifications@github.com> napisał:

@DzikuVx ONE input is good idea, but I think it is not enough, because:
Now I can set BOXFLAPS to aux (channel 5) from 1400 to 1500 (I use 2-position switch with mix 3-position switch, so I have 6-position switch) and I have on this aux also manual, acro, angle, horizon and alt.
So using logic condition is impossible to set this, because there is not between operator.
There is a CONDITION_MID but it has range for 3-position switch.
And because there is no such operator, you can not do it for spoilers to work together with the flaps.

So I think there are several solutions:

1. Create between operator instead of LOW. MID, HIGH
   But it may be difficult to be because it has two values ​​and the conditon logic compares with one value.
2. Create new type boxaux (also instead of LOW. MID, HIGH), and condition is true when selected aux is true.
3. Permit in smix to put more that one condition using & operator. This allow to enable/disable smix by ch5>1400 and ch5<1500. For example:
   logic 2 ch5>1400 (2 is 10 in binary moving)
   logic 3 ch5<1500 (3 is 100 in binary moving)
   so put 6 (110 in binary) to smix condition and it mean that logic 2 an 3 must be true.
   This same solution is in cli serial.

I'm not saying that current set of conditions is perfect, but it is enough to satisfy majority of the cases in a general way. What you need can be done (like you wrote):

• BETWEEN operator -> very simple and I invite you to code it if you want
• ability to put LCs as operands for LCs. Also simple to do and I also have an intention of doing this.

This is possible to do using logical conditions #4561, so close this.
