# INAV Programming Framework INAV Programming Framework (abbr. IPF) is a mechanism that allows to evaluate cenrtain flight parameters (RC channels, switches, altitude, distance, timers, other logic conditions) and use the value of evaluated expression in different places of INAV. Currently, the result of LCs can be used in: * [Servo mixer](Mixer.md) to activate/deactivate certain servo mix rulers * To activate/deactivate system overrides INAV Programming Framework coinsists of: * Logic Conditions - each Logic Condition can be understood as a single command, a single line of code * Global Variables - variables that can store values from and for LogiC Conditions and servo mixer * Programming PID - general purpose, user configurable PID controllers IPF can be edited using INAV Configurator user interface, of via CLI ## Logic Conditions ### CLI `logic ` * `` - ID of Logic Condition rule * `` - `0` evaluates as disabled, `1` evaluates as enabled * `` - the ID of _LogicCondition_ used to activate this _Condition_. _Logic Condition_ will be evaluated only then Activator evaluates as `true`. `-1` evaluates as `true` * `` - See `Operations` paragraph * `` - See `Operands` paragraph * `` - See `Operands` paragraph * `` - See `Operands` paragraph * `` - See `Operands` paragraph * `` - See `Flags` paragraph ### Operations | Operation ID | Name | Notes | |---- |---- |---- | | 0 | TRUE | Always evaluates as true | | 1 | EQUAL | Evaluates `false` if `false` or `0` | | 2 | GREATER_THAN | | | 3 | LOWER_THAN | | | 4 | LOW | `true` if `<1333` | | 5 | MID | `true` if `>=1333 and <=1666` | | 6 | HIGH | `true` if `>1666` | | 7 | AND | | | 8 | OR | | | 9 | XOR | | | 10 | NAND | | | 11 | NOR | | | 12 | NOT | | | 13 | STICKY | `Operand A` is activation operator, `Operand B` is deactivation operator.

Moving Pitch stick up will cause pitch down (up for rear facing camera). Moving Roll stick right will cause roll left of a quad (right in rear facing camera) ### Cut motors but keep other throttle bindings active `logic 0 1 0 29 0 1000 0 0 0` Sets Thhrottle output to `0%` when Logic Condition `0` evaluates as `true` ### Set throttle to 50% and keep other throttle bindings active `logic 0 1 0 29 0 1500 0 0 0` Sets Thhrottle output to about `50%` when Logic Condition `0` evaluates as `true` ### Set throttle control to different RC channel `logic 0 1 0 29 1 7 0 0 0` If Logic Condition `0` evaluates as `true`, motor throttle control is bound to RC channel 7 instead of throttle channel ### Set VTX channel with a POT Set VTX channel with a POT on the radio assigned to RC channel 6 ``` logic 0 1 -1 15 1 6 0 1000 0 logic 1 1 -1 37 4 0 0 7 0 logic 2 1 -1 14 4 1 0 1 0 logic 3 1 -1 31 4 2 0 0 0 ``` Steps: 1. Normalize range `[1000:2000]` to `[0:1000]` by substracting `1000` 2. Scale range `[0:1000]` to `[0:7]` 3. Increase range by `1` to have the range of `[1:8]` 4. Assign LC#2 to VTX channel function ### Set VTX power with a POT Set VTX power with a POT on the radio assigned to RC channel 6. In this example we scale POT to 4 power level `[1:4]` ``` logic 0 1 -1 15 1 6 0 1000 0 logic 1 1 -1 37 4 0 0 3 0 logic 2 1 -1 14 4 1 0 1 0 logic 3 1 -1 25 4 2 0 0 0 ``` Steps: 1.
