Hey! I’ve also noticed the last state appearing in the manifest after it caused some Connect API libraries to break (since it’s expecting the data type to be an integer as opposed to “String”) They’ve not been documented as far as I know.
From trying to use this state, it don’t seem to do anything at the moment. Nothing gets sent back to you when you get from this state.
However, it does beg the interesting question whether we will eventually be able to do more with ATC messages…
Because I’ve tried to enable the first one, and calling the second as a string my program return a Timeout error.
Also I’ve read that with connect you can do a program to set the autopilot to command given by atc. You think that’s duable?
I can imagine it’s doable if you can figure out how to get ATC messages, parse them (unless there’s a state that tells you the last assigned heading and altitude that I don’t know about) and set the relevant AP states. The API doesn’t have working states to get the ATC messages (for now anyway), so you’d have to do some janky stuff like taking in a stream of the device’s screen and reading text from the ATC log. It’s not ideal, that’s for sure.
Yeah, I know I can set target’s because I’ve created a vnav for climbing that also change speed on climb with circa 1knt/s of acceleration, it also can do stepclimb.
So for autopilot commands I’m good thanks. I thougth It was somenthing already test the ATC message stream.
As now is personal, I’ve never do an app, also Is coded in Python… so, not the best programming languages to use for mobile.
But If someone is interest I can share the code
