LUA extentions to enable heli wizard

[ArchmageAU]

In order to create an LUA heli setup wizard, the following API enhancements are required:

• getCurve, setCurve
• insertMix, getMix must include curve data

Heli's require curves as both throttle and collective are controlled by a single stick (throttle). Creating an LUA wizard for helis is impossible without the above functions.

Optional but desired:

• getHeli, setHeli (CCPM data)
• getInternalRF, setInternalRF
• getExternalRF, setExternalRF
• getTrainerPort, setTrainerPort

Being able to bind to the heli in the wizard enables proper guided setting of CCPM (required for flybarred helis and some flybarless ones).

Other desirable functions:

• getFlightMode, setFlightMode
• getModelSetup, setModelSetup (name, icon, warnings)

These enable creating more advanced functions (like named modes and model personalization).

Guys just realised I need the getcurve (and related functions) as well.
any chance to move the milestone earlier than 2.1?

[jermoo]

we need model.addInput() as well.

Already available bymodel.insertInput()

I can only get this to work for adding a line to an existing input. Perhaps my syntax is incorrect?
local ivalue={name="test", source=MIXSRC_Thr, weight=55, offset=3}
two lines I've tried
model.insertInput(4, 0, ivalue)
and
model.insertInput(4, ivalue)

if I change the line to

model.insertInput(0, 1, ivalue)

it correctly adds the line to the first input as the 2nd entry.

Thanks in advance.

@jermoo you found a new bug, issue #2084 created for it.

[jermoo]

yay..

Also need the additional properties for insertInput.
For example:
inputName (vs line name)
curveType
curveValue
flightModes
carryTrim

Not stale as seen by recent demand for lua setflightmode support
