E'hem. (Reverted status to 'New') Mr. Project Leader should be the only one to
accept issues. No? :-)
I do not understand this request, yet. Can we have more explanation of what it
means, "values split from the related stick to use them as input for a
channel", as well as an example of how and why this would be used in practice?
(And I use throttle trim all the time. It's very important with glow engine.)

Sorry ;)
I think that Romolo want to have these MIXERS:
CH1(THR): Source=THR, NO TRIMS
CH2(LIGHT): Source=THR TRIM

Yes, the idea is indeed to' have a mix like the one listed by bertrand. In
gliders thr and the stick is used instead for butterfly thr trim then may be'
used for airbrakes, normally on other radios i will do with lateral sliders but
on 9x i do not have them
Will try to' explain better as soon as i will have a decent keyboard available

OK. I think I understand, sort of. Sorry for being 'slow'.
Is the intention to use the trim switches as push-button inputs, which is what
I think you meant above ... or is it more like having virtual sticks/pots, with
values from -100 to +100. (Or both?)
Some example of exactly how the trim switches are used, so we can all
understand it better would be good, when you get time.

Romolo ... what is the status of this issue now, in your mind? Is it still
valid? I think maybe the virtual pots, using rotary encoders might replace it?
Yes/No?

If gruvin9x is intended as a v4 only firmware, then no, it's no longer
valid, but if instead is intended to run also on stock, then yes, it is
still valid as stock board has no rotary encoder at all..
About the feature itself you are right, it shares several points with
VPOTs, ie it's independent on flight phase...
So it's up to you to decide if THR TRIM is a VPOT for stock board or is an
independent feature.
In my opinion for stock board we may have only one VPOT controlled by THR
trim

Good point about the stock board .. except that I kinda figured that if people
want the extra features, they'd obviously want to upgrade. Perhaps not.
This certainly all makes sense to me, though I don't think I'd personally have
a use for it. But that certainly doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
Anyone else want to make any comments? Is this something others would like us
to spend time coding for the stock board firmware version? Oh wait .. no one
will see this, in here. I'll copy/paste to the discussion group, with link to
here.

Yes, good idea. What about doing same for rudderless models ?

Would you need/want it then? You already have a spare stick, don't you?
I was also thinking that the existing 'extended trims' feature would probably
adapt easily into this idea, not that I've looked at the actual code.
