Hi Maarten,

I'm wondering if it's possible to set LVAR such as A32NX ones described here https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/blob/master/docs/a320-simvars.md

More generally, where can I find some documentation about the way the code should be written in type condition events?

Thank you for the great job you're doing.

Thank you @SQLSammy

I probably found a part of the answer in #14 "Conditional triggers can set and get global variables", but it doesn't work for local variables.

For instance, I wish to change the MFD range of the A32NX using the encoder 3:

{
  "index": 3,
  "event_up": {
    "type": "condition",
    "event": [ "{% set mfd_range = data.get_local_variable('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1') %}",
                 "{{ data.set_local_variable('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1', mfd_range + 1) }}"]
  },
  "event_down": {
    "type": "condition",
    "event": [ "{% set mfd_range = data.get_local_variable('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1') %}",
                 "{{ data.set_local_variable('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1', mfd_range - 1) }}"]
  }
},

Since you linked the simvars documentation of the FBW A320 I guess you want to directly change a simvar with an encoder. In this case you should be able to use the get_simvar_value and set_simvar_value. But there might be a problem with the way python-simconnect returns None when you request a simvar that is not in it's list. I will do some research for this.

{
  "index": 3,
  "event_up": {
    "type": "condition",
    "event": [ "{% set mfd_range = data.get_simvar_value('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1') %}",
                 "{{ data.set_simvar_value('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1', mfd_range + 1) }}"]
  },
  "event_down": {
    "type": "condition",
    "event": [ "{% set mfd_range = data.get_simvar_value('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1') %}",
                 "{{ data.set_simvar_value('A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1', mfd_range - 1) }}"]
  }
},

For more information about how to write code for the condition events. I use jinja2 to parse and execute the template https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/templates/
To see which functions you can call on the data object you can take a look at the https://github.com/maartentamboer/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/blob/main/conditionalrunner.py file

I've been looking into this and I'm not fully aware what an LVAR is. But I guess that it is a local variable that stays inside of the simulator / aircraft code. With that I was unable to connect to them using the simconnect API. I used the latest experimtal build of the FBW A320 and the simconnect API gave me this:

SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_NAME_UNRECOGNIZED
SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_UNRECOGNIZED_ID: in (b'A32NX_NO_SMOKING_MEMO', b'Bool')

also tried with the L: in front of it

SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_NAME_UNRECOGNIZED
SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_UNRECOGNIZED_ID: in (b'L:A32NX_NO_SMOKING_MEMO', b'Bool')

Hi,

I've been able to use some of LVAR variables of the FBW 320NX thanks to the Mobifligh WASM module.
You'll find som info here on how to use X-Touch-Mini-FS2020 with Mobifligh: https://pastebin.com/fMdB7at2 (with a sample config file).
Here is a list of the commands managed by mobiflight : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jTXlcHaJWx0B7TB63Pmma7bKwpxsxXJO6EJ3ECt7zpc/edit#gid=172455454

Note everything is not available, as some commands use "HVAR" variables. I don't know the difference between LVAR and HVAR.

Personnaly, I recently move from X-Touch-Mini-FS2020 to SPAD.NEXT, to be able to manage two X-Touch at the same time (and to gain the benefit of a UI tool to setup the commands). But I keep an eye on X-Touch-Mini-FS2020, I might switch back some time ;-)

@gleclere funny, we've recently been in touch on "Flight Simulator 2020 France" facebook group :-)

#41 has changes so the mobiflight WASM module can be used in conditional triggers. The config is really complex. So I will investigate adding a feature for using the encoder as a selector switch. Since these selector switches are quite common in aircraft.

Release https://github.com/maartentamboer/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/releases/tag/v1.3.0 is now available. This release can set the range using conditional triggers and the mobiflight wasm module. I've added it to the config_a320.json in the release.

Hello,
I tried your new version and the above example for MFD_RANGE, it worked for me, great.
For testing I played a little bit with a statement like
{
"index": 8,
"event_press": {
"type": "condition",
"event": [ "{% set myvar02 = (data.get_global_variable('MFD_RANGE')) %}",
"{{ data.print(myvar02) }}"
]
}
just to print out the value to the console, also working great.
I jjust have no idea, why/how this 'MFD_RANGE' works. I cannot find any hint where this variable comes from.
I was looking for 'A320_NEO_MFD_RANGE_1' and always get the 'None' returned.
The reason why I am asking is that I want to have a similar thing for the button left to the range button, the MFD_NAV_MODE button.
There are 5 seperate events:
A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_LS / ...VOR / ...NAV / ...ARC .../ PLAN
I am looking for a variable that shows the state of this button.
I tried with A320_NEO_MFD_NAV_MODE_1, but as expected only 'None'...

Any ideas?

Thanks for your great work.
Frank

If I understand correctly from my playing around last night, the MFD_RANGE is an internal variable. You can set it to whatever, introduce your own etc. And you need to use the MobiFlight implementation of the NAV_MODE.

It's easy from there, I've just implemented NAV mode myself:


    {
      "index": 2,
      "event_up": {
        "description": "MFD NAV MODE - Clockwise",
        "type": "condition",
        "event": [ "{% if data.get_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE') == 0 %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_VOR', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE', 1) }}",
                   "{% elif data.get_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE') == 1 %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_NAV', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE', 2) }}",
                   "{% elif data.get_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE') == 2 %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_ARC', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE', 3) }}",
                   "{% elif data.get_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE') == 3 %}",

                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE', 4) }}",
                  "{% elif data.get_global_variable('MFD_NAV_MODE') == 4 %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_PLAN', 1) }}",

One question I have myself, just trying to implement the radio - even though it says tested on the WASM Events list, I'm getting no response with this code. Any glaring obvious reason I'm missing here?

Too quick - apparently the FBW team fixed the default call. So we can just use:

    {
      "index": 8,
      "event_up": {
        "description": "Radio - Increase frequency",
        "type": "condition",

                     "{{ data.trigger_event('COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC', 1) }}",
                   "{% else %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC', 1) }}",
                   "{% endif %}" ]
      },
      "event_down": {

                   "{% else %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC', 1) }}",
                   "{% endif %}" ]
      },
      "event_short_press": {
        "description": "Radio - Toggle between whole and decimal values",
        "type": "condition",
        "event": [ "{% if data.get_global_variable('RADIO_INT_DEC') == 0 %}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('RADIO_INT_DEC', 1) }}",
                   "{% else %}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('RADIO_INT_DEC', 0) }}",

Thanks for that mate, great stuff.

One more, I'm having an issue setting the Captain EFIS for the ILS - is the following the right way to make a single call to MobiFlight?

    {
      "index": 2,
      "event_press": {
        "description": "Trigger CPT EFIS LS",
        "type": "condition",

If you want to fire off a single event you can just place the name of the event:

    {
      "index": 2,
      "event_press": "MobiFlight.A320_Neo_PFD_BTN_LS_1"
    },

Some events have an option of passing a value with them, for those you can either use the manual event or the condition event.

That makes way more sense, thanks @maartentamboer . This does throw a warning "WARNING: Event MobiFlight.A320_Neo_PFD_BTN_LS_1, was not found in simconnect list. Using a manual binding". I'm assuming this is fine (edit: should've set "type" to "manual" to suppress this message) - however I'm not getting the expected result. I was hoping to control this button but so far without success.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Hello,
I tried your new version and the above example for MFD_RANGE, it worked for me, great.
For testing I played a little bit with a statement like
{
"index": 8,
"event_press": {
"type": "condition",
"event": [ "{% set myvar02 = (data.get_global_variable('MFD_RANGE')) %}",
"{{ data.print(myvar02) }}"
]
}
....

Thanks for your great work.
Frank

Is it possible that you read and print sample has some missing or wrong brackets?
Is it possible that you post a real working sample?

I've made the baro somewhat more complicated .. ;)

Rotate increases / decreases the baro setting (however, it won't change the pressure setting if baro is set to STD)
A short press toggles between the user-selected and STD pressure setting
A long press toggles inHg and hPa

    {
      "index": 1,
      "event_up": {
        "description": "CPT side BARO - Increase barometric pressure",
        "type": "condition",
        "event": [ "{% if data.get_global_variable('BARO_STD') == None %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('KOHLSMAN_INC', 1) }}",
                   "{% endif %}" ]

                     "{{ data.trigger_event('KOHLSMAN_DEC', 1) }}",
                   "{% endif %}" ]
      },
      "event_short_press": {
        "description": "CPT side BARO - Switch between QNH and STD",
        "type": "condition",
        "event": [ "{% if data.get_global_variable('BARO_STD') == None %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.XMLVAR_Baro1_Mode_STD', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('BARO_STD', True) }}",
                   "{% else %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.XMLVAR_Baro1_Mode_QNH', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('BARO_STD', None) }}",
                   "{% endif %}" ]
      },
      "event_long_press":  {
        "description": "CPT side BARO - Switch between inHg and hPa",
        "type": "condition",
        "event": [ "{% if data.get_global_variable('BARO_INCH_HP') == 0 %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.XMLVAR_Baro_Selector_HPA_1_inHg', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('BARO_INCH_HP', 1) }}",
                   "{% else %}",
                     "{{ data.trigger_event('MobiFlight.XMLVAR_Baro_Selector_HPA_1_hPa', 1) }}",
                     "{{ data.set_global_variable('BARO_INCH_HP', 0) }}",
                   "{% endif %}" ]
      }
    },

NB The events.txt does require the following lines to be added, best to put them in the >> // A32X FBW - GLARE << section.

XMLVAR_Baro_Selector_HPA_1_hPa#0 (>L:XMLVAR_Baro_Selector_HPA_1)
XMLVAR_Baro_Selector_HPA_1_inHg#1 (>L:XMLVAR_Baro_Selector_HPA_1)

Website is live at https://dev-tty.nl/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/
I've added a little information about how to add content and preview the site locally in https://dev-tty.nl/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/getting-started/developing/
It is automatically published every time something changes in the main branch.
I will start adding content this weekend. But feel free to open pull-requests

I've opened up a discussion over at #48 to further discuss website content / snippets and so on. Since this issue has deviated quite a bit from the original LVAR issue.

Since the conditional triggers in this topic are becoming quite complex, I've just made a new release that enables you to have the conditional trigger in a seperate file. This means you can also get syntax highlighting in Visual Studio Code with the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=samuelcolvin.jinjahtml plugin. Nice benefit is that these conditional-file triggers can now be reused accross multiple config files

Example:
https://github.com/maartentamboer/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/blob/main/Configurations/config_a320.json#L88-L95
https://github.com/maartentamboer/X-Touch-Mini-FS2020/blob/main/Configurations/Functions/A320/mfd-range-up.jinja2

Coming back to the Lvars, do you have an idea if we can get the value of the MobiFlight Lvars?

For example, I have these Lvars in MobiFlight's events.txt:

A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_LS#0 (>L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1)
A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_VOR#1 (>L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1)
A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_NAV#2 (>L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1)
A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_ARC#3 (>L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1)
A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_PLAN#4 (>L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1)

Is there a way to get the value of L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1?
I tried using for example:
data.get_simvar_value('MobiFlight.A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1')

But it's not working, the value I get for that Lvar is 'None'

With the mobiflight plugin we call events and then they set the value in the simulator. It appears that they don't provide any simvars

The first part appears the event that you can call using simconnect, between the braces () stands the variable that you want to write it to. I think it works like this:
A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_LS: The event that you want to create, call via MobiFlight.A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1_LS
#0: The value that you want to write into the variable
(>L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1): The variable that you want to write to

I’ve modded the code so you can use a new function data.get_mobiflightsimvar_value(‘L:A320_Neo_MFD_NAV_MODE_1’)

I’ve sent a pull request to Maarten with the modded code

The latest experimental release of the A32NX seems to have changed some things related to the EFIS control panel and the ND as part of their custom LNAV since the current configurations with X-Touch-MSFS aren't working. I would assume the FBW team have created their own local variables for many of these items and I expect this info is documented somewhere, but I've had no luck finding it. Has anyone successfully configured the their X-Touch to work with the A32NX experimental LNAV? I'd like to get the range and mode knobs back to doing something.

I found these... are they the new variables? I can't get any of this to work really.

If those are the new variables, I guess you would need to add them to Mobiflight as well (if not done already).
Once they are defined in Mobiflight, I guess they would be usable.

I've tried mimicking other variables in the events txt but I don't really understand how it works so I don't think I'm doing it right. And it doesn't work obviously. Is there a tutorial somewhere that illustrates the process of adding new variables?
