Autothrottles

[mauriceb]

I do believe Alan has already replied to your question in this thread:
http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/show...t=autothrottle

If I understood it correctly, relays are still required now but he is or will be working on a software only solution. The current software already allows to release the servos when Phidgets exits, so this functionality exists but is not yet implemented to release the servos during flight as far as I can understand.

Hopefully Alan can sacrifice more weekends for the common good . But let's not try to rush him...he has already contributed so much for this hobby with his free software that I think he deserves a flight simulation monument named after him.

Maurice:
You are correct. He does talk about my question in that post. I guess i missed reading it. Its a folly of reading many many posts at one time. One will miss important information.

Thanks for the info. That helped clarify in my head. I will wait for Alan to come out with his next version. I will also try using a toggle switch to break the servo circuit for now.

Best regards,
