All leds are used by the system on GX12. In 2.11 we have introduced a protection for the leds used by the system that did not exist previously

@3djc can you tell what that means? Are you saying leds will be controlled from somewhere else from now?

[3djc]

The 6pos leds are reserved for 6pos switch (and are controlled by it), something similar for SA/SD leds

[kakashi2018]

@3djc just checked, no where it is allowing me set leds from the radio not even the 6 pos switches, however the previously set led are working but I cannot configure them

[3djc]

It should look like:

@philmoz did you change this ?

[3djc]

Ok, you need to click on the switch name itself to bring this window:

Are you using gx-12 radio? I dont see any options under sa and sd switches. It only allows to to edit name and switch type. And for 6 pos switches i have it under custom sw but it does not allow me to change any led or any thing. It just shows switches

I got how to configure the 6 pos switched it is per model now. but dont find it for SA and SD switches

[3djc]

I think @philmoz has a proposal/something already done for that. Initial release did not allow to set color on SA/SD

[FPVZaphod]

I can confirm the issue. I wrote a bunch of little LUAs to control the LEDs of SA and SD. Named Lblue, Lred, Loff and so on for the left Button (SA), and same for the right SD button: Rblue, Rred, Roff. Placed in the "RGBLED" Folder. The Option "RGBLED" in Special Functions is not available anymore. I copied my Scripts to /SCRIPTS/FUNCTIONS, now I can see them using "LUA" in Special Functions. But they don't show any Effect.
It was a very big advantage to have control over this RGB-Leds, as an example if you use the momentary button by Sticky Switch as a 2-Pos, to get feedback. Like "Armed" is Red, and "Disarm" is blue.
Please bring back this Function, it is really important.

[3djc]

There is no plan to bring it back, but we will allow SA/SD colors to be configured like the 6pos ones (and it already allow to turn those to 2 pos without the need for any SF)

[FPVZaphod]

That's really a pity. For Copters I use 3 colors for SA: Blue for Disarm, Red for Arm, and Yellow for a pending Disarm. When the FC is armed, and you press SA, then it becomes Yellow to show a disarm will happen once throttle is zero. If this happens, and the disarm occured, SA becomes blue again. I am not sure if this is possible in the future?
This option was really nice. Not possible to have both? Either controlled in the planned way, or fully by LUA?

[3djc]

Maybe in the future, unsure, I would like an option to say this led can be controlled by lua, but then it pushes a lot of complexity toward users. Or maybe a general option to say all leds are controlled by lua only that disables all system led control
