My earlier response was to John Gayer's query regarding Jeti and setting up a logical switch to enter snap mode. 




As for the glow driver, that's trivial if you have logical switches, all you need is a logical switch that is On from 0-15% and off otherwise, AND that with a physical switch so you can turn the driver off when you land and then apply that switch to turn on/off the output channel of your convenience

As I understand it he wants to turn on the glow plug below a certain throttle setting.  isn't it a simple matter of setting up a dual rate on the plug channel with two fixed values and switch between them using the throttle stick as the switch?

>> Just spent some time playing---short answer, it is possible, but you would need a lot of logical switches some of which are just based on proportional position and others that combine a proportional position with one of the other logical switches so you can tell if you got to the 20-80 range from the bottom or the top.  I had to use 6 logical switches to make it work close to what you asked for but ran out of time to debug the last bit.  I might need 8 logical switches total by the time I fix that bug.  Jeti is VERY responsive to feature requests like this, so I'll put one in for it and I suspect it will be there within the year :-)
