03.05. FlightSimPushbutton

This object is similar to the FlightSimOnOffCommandSwitch object, but it is designed for Pushbuttons that use X-Plane's "command begin" and "command end" functions. It uses a single command and, whenever the switch is closed, it sends "command begin". When the switch is opened, the object sends "command end" to X-Plane.

As there's only a single command, it can be assigned directly to the switch object. As with FlightSimOnOffCommandSwitch, the pin number can be specified on declaration or during setup().

Furthermore, there polarity of the switch can be set with setInverted() or on initialization:

#include <FlightSimSwitches.h>

// always declare FlightSimSwitches first
FlightSimSwitches switches;

// Pin number specified in object declaration
FlightSimPushbutton pb1(2); // Pushbutton between pin 2 and GND

// Pin Number specified in setup()
FlightSimPushbutton pb2;

// Inverted logic: Send END when button closes and BEGIN when
// button opens
FlightSimPushbutton pb3(4, true); // normally closed (N/C) pushbutton
                                  // between pin 4 and GND

// Set parameters in setup()
FlightSimPushbutton pb4;

void setup() {
  delay(1000);
  // set pushbutton 1 command
  pb1 = XPlaneRef("command/1");

  // set pushbutton 2 pin and commands
  pb2.setPosition(3);
  pb2 = XPlaneRef("command/2");

  // set pushbutton 3 command (inverted)
  pb3 = XPlaneRef("command/3");

  // set pushbutton 4 pin and commands
  pb4.setPosition(5);
  pb4.setInverted(true);
  pb4 = XPlaneRef("command/4");

  switches.setDebug(DEBUG_SWITCHES);
  switches.begin();
}

void loop() {
  FlightSim.update();
  switches.loop();
}
