Introduction
For use with a StreamDeck XL hardware unit. This is a COM/NAV radio and Transponder profile, with a Home profile to link them together. Unique quick entry features. Easy to rework to fit. Should work with any simulation supported by StreamDeck with AxisAndOhs (AAO).
The modules allow for efficiencies for frequency entry, similar to those provided by modern aviation radios. Supports selecting the active COM radio.
All use is at user own risk. There are no warranties or guarantees of fitness for purpose.
Some elements based on the demonstration "numericprofiles.zip" profile available from Axis and Ohs.
Installation
1. Lorby Axis and Ohs is required (www.axisandohs.com)
2. Import the three profiles into the Stream Deck XL application. Not directly compatible with other StreamDeck hardware units.
3. Select the OWSxxx_Home package as active, and go!
Notes
The Home page allows for setting bright or dim illumination of the StreamDeck XL, as well as selecting a sleep state.
The Radio and Transponder pages are reached by selecting the respective buttons on the Home page. Equivalent buttons are available on all pages for quick navigation.
Transponder
Transponder codes are entered using the numeric keypad. As it is entered, the numeric code is shown on the CLEAR button as well as the [set] button. With the numeric code fully entered and correct, press the [set] button to activate it.
Individual digits can be erased with a short press of the CLEAR button. To clear all the digits entered, press and hold the CLEAR button.
Three buttons are provided for quick entry of transponder codes 2000 (default VATSIM), 1200 (N.A. VFR) and 7600 (COM Failure)
NAV/COM Radio
Frequencies are entered using the numeric keypad, with a number of efficiencies:
• an INIT function is provided to reset all frequencies and settings on startup, or at any time during use: COM1 is organized for in-air use and COM2 for ground and advisory
• a leading "1", trailing zeros, and a decimal point are added to frequencies when set, e.g. type 334 to nominate 133.400
• if you prefer to type the leading "1" then deselect the DEF 1 setting, or press and hold the "1" key as you are entering it to suppress the automatic prefixing for that entry
• for 25Khz spaced COM frequencies, if not added, the implicit trailing "5" will be appended where required when the value is set, e.g. entering 2827 (or 12827) will nominate 128.275
When entry is complete, select one of the five [set] buttons to nominate the frequency into the standby position of COM1, COM2, NAV1, NAV2, or both NAV1 & NAV2 simultaneously. If no frequency has been entered, this function will be ignored, standby frequencies will not be zeroed.
To force the emergency 121.500 frequency into COM1 or COM2, press and hold the respective STBY [set] button.
Caution: it is possible to enter an invalid frequency into the simulation radios, the COM and NAV frequencies are not validity checked on nomination. The effect on the simulation radio is unpredictable, so this should be avoided.
