SpitFW Touch Controls — Preview

A working prototype exploring direct touchscreen control combined with the transmitter's physical switches.

The prototype demonstrates:

• Touchscreen controls with three selectable positions
• Physical switch control
• Configurable hold/safety time for each position
• Independent timing for HIGH, CENTER and LOW positions
• Immediate action when the hold time is set to 0
• Visual hold-progress feedback
• Automatic ETHOS variable management

The current prototype includes:

• MAGS
• FLAPS
• NAVIGATION LIGHTS

The same control concept is intended to be integrated into the corresponding SpitFW modules in the future.

This is an experimental preview for testing the concept and collecting feedback from the ETHOS community.

A ready-to-use ETHOS simulator package is provided below.

Feedback is welcome — especially regarding the touchscreen interaction, physical switch integration and configurable safety timing.
