Strange behavior on FO ACP

Post by dkreiskott »

Hi Jean Luc,

I'm coming back to a problem that I mentioned a long time ago, see here: https://jeehell.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=172

Based on this problem, I have now done the following.
The PTT key is set to "A" in the intercom. In the programs that are operated via voice, I have also set the PTT key to "A".

As long as I only work with the CPT ACP, everything works perfectly. But if I press one of the buttons VHF1-3, Mech, etc. on the FO ACP, I immediately hear that the intercom is going to transmit. If I don't do anything else, the message "PTT Key stuck" or something similar will appear in the ECAM at some point. However, it relates to ACP1.

As all of my hardware is from Skalarki, I have checked the settings for the buttons on both ACPs several times, and the correct events are entered there in any case.

I am unable to use the FO ACP because it always goes into transmit as soon as one of the buttons is active.
And logically, the CPT ACP then no longer works either.
Regards
Dieter

Hi Jean Luc,

This morning I installed both ACP software. This enabled me to see that the RAD switch no longer goes into the neutral position after activation.

I found that strange, as the behavior is perfect when you only use the software panels. Finally I found the error. The neutral position was configured to ACP3. I obviously overlooked that when I checked yesterday.

But I noticed something else. I wouldn't normally use keys like A-Z for things like that.
So I tried to use the spacebar for it. However, that can't be stored in the intercom.
The key is recognized, but can't be saved?
Regards
Dieter
