Ryan Davidson Posted June 23, 2021 at 03:12 PM Posted June 23, 2021 at 03:12 PM I'm having issues mapping the desired button for PTT in vPilot on my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke. It detects several different buttons that are constantly active (from Alt/Bat on/off switches to lights) but never grabs the actual button (the #1 button on the yoke where a normal radio transmit button is located). Any fix possible? Is there a work around like a config line I could manually edit to assign the proper key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 23, 2021 at 03:15 PM Posted June 23, 2021 at 03:15 PM (edited) If it detects the wrong button, just press the button in the vPilot settings to start scanning again, and it will ignore the first one. You can repeat that as many times as needed.

Ross Carlson Posted June 23, 2021 at 05:33 PM Posted June 23, 2021 at 05:33 PM (edited) You just need to keep pressing the "Set a Different PTT Key or Button" button again until it no longer finds any constantly-active button.

It also helps to have the cable between the base and yoke connected... 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Wolfslag Posted October 14, 2021 at 09:18 AM Posted October 14, 2021 at 09:18 AM Assigning a PTT key with Honeycomb Alfa yoke and Beta throttle connected causes a problem when you want to assign a keyboard key. Disconnect both USB cables and yo can use a keyboard key. This is caused by the type of switches of Honeycomb. Most switches are not pushbuttons, but on/off. This means the PTT assignment always detects one of those switches being on or off. Probably the same happens when assigning a key on the yoke while the throttle is connected. My suggestion is: Disconnect USB from the throttle. Press button (1 in your case) and keep pressed In vPilot Clear Current PTT Set new PTT and save.
