Vplane: Switchglo Pro - programming for ON at idle throttle? I have two nitro planes with inverter 4-stroke nitro engines that have on-board Switchglo Pro igniters. One is on Neo VPlane, and the other is running an older Silverline on VPlane. I can program the Switchglo Pro to ignite on a channel switch just fine, but need to know how to program it to ignite at low throttle (idle) to prevent engine from dying. Can anyone advise please?

Any other ideas? Perhaps Rainer has done this or could advise?

I'm actually not sure about the Silverline, but with NEO, you could try the following:

. Multiplexer Macrocell at the servo port
. Switch Motor
. Position low (motor off) e.g. a yet unused Macrocell (say 30), Fixed, position so Glow is always off when the engine is off, this might give extra safety and would override the glow switch.
... alternatevely, same, 3-Level, input Glow-Switch Off-On-Off?
. Position center (idle) same, say 31, type Channel or 3-Level, Input the 'Glow' switch (or the alternative without the fixed-off cell).
. Position high (run) same, again 31, Input same or same.

With Silverline, you could most certainly use the motor switch (only) in an off-on-on way (motor off-idle-run), but that would mean, ignition is always on, or maybe also off-on-off, but I'd have to try and see for myself. Or you do :)

See https://www.vstabi.info/en/mc for ideas (NEO/EVO, same principle as on Classic, but different UI on Touch/EVO).
See https://www.vstabi.info/en/node/1797 for the more limited options of legacy VBars.

Kind regards
