I would gratefully need some help getting a Lvar to JF Arrow Turbo to work on a pushbutton 0 on the Honeycomb Alpha. This applies to a fuel pump that has three positions. 0 = low 1 = off 2 = high. Since it is a pushbutton, it must be a toggle function. Lvar is "CENTER_LOWER_fuelpump"

Likely you will need to write a little code. I am not familiar with AAO (yet) but have done a lot of programming in Lua. In my programming, this is called a "cycle" where pressing the button cycles thru the possible values.

The logic would look something like:

1) Read the Lvar

2) test the value against the max value

3) if not max, increment the value by 1 and set the new value

4) if the value is max, set the value to min and set the new value

Here is my corresponding Lua programming for such a button:

-- 306    EHSI arc mode cycle    
if ipcPARAM == 306    then
  ytemp = ipc.readLvar("EHSI_ARC")
  if ytemp == 2
     then newtemp = 0
  else
     newtemp = ytemp + 1
  end
  ipc.writeLvar("EHSI_ARC", newtemp)
end

There are probably more elegant ways to do it. Hope this helps.

Probably something like this (off the top of my head, not tested!)

Every button press advances to the next state, then jumps back to the initial one.
(L:CENTER_LOWER_fuelpump, Number) 2 < if{ (L:CENTER_LOWER_fuelpump, Number) ++ } els{ 0 } (>L:CENTER_LOWER_fuelpump, Number)

Or this:
Toggles between high and off:
(L:CENTER_LOWER_fuelpump, Number) 2 < if{ 2 } els{ 1 } (>L:CENTER_LOWER_fuelpump, Number)
