Sticky help

[warbirdrcer]

Hi all, I just joined the FrySky band and have spent hours looking at videos and reading the manual. ,Coming off an Airtronics SD 10 G radio the learning curve is steep. My issue is creating a sticky to start a timer using a switch. I created one using the instructions found in this video.

and it works perfect, when I tried to do the same thing for another model the timer will not start. I have checked over and over and the timer and sticky settings are the same. No pun intended I am stuck trying to get this work. Any ideas or things I could be missing. Both planes are the same type and settings. Thanks.

You know what has been super helpful and incredibly accurate for me…Chatgpt! I just use the free version on my phone. You can tell it exactly what your transmitter is and version of ethos. It guides you step by step. I used to watch youtubes and read the manual. Chat is faster and easier. Example, I was setting up an aileron / rudder mix. After listing step by step instructions it asked what plane I had. I replied an Inside F5J. It relied “nice glider, I would recommend a 20 percent mix. Then it blew my mind by asking if I would like to set 3 mixes on a 3 position switch. One for thermeling (more rudder) one for climbout (less rudder) and regular flight. Amazing!!!

Well I've never used chat GPT before so I'm open to trying anything ,thank you very much for that information. It's just so odd that the first model I set up with this sticky works perfectly then I cloned that model and the timer doesn't work at all. It's set up on the two position switch that I use for my retract so the timer will start when the gear switch is pulled up to retract. I even deleted the timer and the sticky all together and then put it all back in manually on the new model and still the timer won't start counting down when I move the gear switch to retract position

Unless I am misunderstanding something, you do not need a sticky switch. Timers have a start, (optional) stop and reset. The default for the stop is "not start", meaning, if you have (as seen below) SH down as a start condition, the default is for the timer to stop when SH is not down. So all you need to do is set it to custom and pick another switch for the stop condition. In my case below, I chose the same switch for both stop and reset.

You could do the same with a logical switch, but the logical switch does not have to be sticky as it isn't the switch that makes the timer sticky. It is the stop condition being a specific thing and not "default"

Thanks, I tried the chat GPT and it was pretty cool It offered several options including the login switch which I set as Edge with the gear up switch being the trigger to start the timer. I wanted the timer to continue to run regardless of the position of the gear switch once it started, so if I was doing touch and goes the timer would not stop when the gear was put down. I use a momentary switch to be the reset for the timer works perfectly now. Just odd that the directions I followed in the video working for the first model I created but did not work on the second model that I created
