Deactivate switch when you have a physically broken switch on your controller

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I had a switch physically break on my TX16s which was my GPS Rescue switch. Consequently I had to delete its programming so that it wouldn't intermittently trigger since the remaining bits of it would wiggle around in its housing.

Describe the solution you'd like

I was wondering if there could be a way to disable switches w/in the setup screens so that it's easier to reenable the switch & retain its programming instead of deleting the switch's settings until the new part arrives.

Describe alternatives you've considered

delete switch settings

I've not checked how the code functions, but have you tried turning the switch off in the radio setup -> hardware page - i.e. change the type from 2POS/3POS to NONE?

You need to restart the radio after changing this setting.
Also the affected switch will still exist but always be set to 0 - so a switch check for SA- would still succeed (for example).

I think thats probably an issue. To me, a disabled (set to NONE) switch should not be evaluated at all

[gagarinlg]

Which is currently not an option. We need a switch state "invalid" which always returns false on all comparisons

[3djc]

Why ? None should do exactly that, imho

Since switch handling is basically completely rewritten in ADC refactor, this has been handled there. This comit: c8e9437 adresses this issue.

• Special function are not trigered by 'none' switch
• In logical switches, 'none' switch is always false
