ColorPad touch control

[ColinPT0357]

Hi.
I'm currently evaluating the above LUA-controlled software. It functions similarly to the Kraftwerk model. My enquiry is: is it possible to have a 'mix' of control for the SFR-1? Specifically, I have S-Bus, which works fine, but what I am hoping to do is supplement the S-Bus control with some touch screen controls - a mix therefore of S-Bus and 'Pad' control. I understand a connection is required from the rx to X2/3 or 4 for touch pad control. Can this work alongside the already established X2/6 S-Bus connection? Or is it one or the other only. Your thoughts appreciated. Regards, Colin.

Hello Colin,

Can this work alongside the already established X2/6 S-Bus connection?

Yes. You can address the Control-Pads either via X2/3 and/or X2/4, or even via SBUS by mapping the SBUS/SUMD channel(s) for the Control-Pad(s) to Prop#3 and/or #4.
Thus you do not need to make any additional connection to the receiver if you are already using SBUS.

Thank you Rascal. Much obliged!

Me again Rascal.

I may be doing something wrong, not sure...

Software is a LUA script 'ColorPad' on a X18 Tx. Truck is fitted with a SFR1 and works fine on SBus.

I've registered X2/3 as a touch pad (in ST) and all 12 Tx button outputs are set to Ch 4 (I have Prop#3 connected to channel 4 on Tx).

I've done Teach-in on the SFR1. LEDs flash as per manual.

Running up the data cable diagnostics I note that the top row of screen buttons all register as '12' and the bottom row all register as '7'. I've tried varying the output value of each button, but that has no effect. Still all show as above, either 7 or 12. I'm guessing they should show as 1,2, 3 etc.

If I assign an action (e.g. Lights+) to button 7 it will operate the lights.
I've read manuals and followed all instructions. Any thoughts what I may be doing wrong / not doing?

Got it working. Tried teach in again and it works. Thanks.
