Supports fixed-wing and helicopter, A and B certificates.\n\n## What it does\n\nSteps through BMFA achievement maneuvers in order, playing an audio call-out for each one when you press your trigger switch. Select your aircraft type and certificate level from the widget settings. Use it to prompt yourself (or a trainee) through the test sequence without looking at a list.\n\n### Airplane — A Certificate\n\n| # | Maneuver |\n|---|----------|\n| 1 | Takeoff \u0026 Circuit |\n| 2 | Figure of Eight |\n| 3 | Circuit \u0026 Landing |\n| 4 | Takeoff \u0026 Circuit |\n| 5 | Opposite Circuit |\n| 6 | Dead Stick Landing |\n\n### Airplane — B Certificate\n\n| # | Maneuver |\n|---|----------|\n| 1 | Figure of Eight |\n| 2 | Inside Loop |\n| 3 | Outside Loop |\n| 4 | Two consecutive rolls (into wind) |\n| 5 | Two consecutive rolls (downwind) |\n| 6 | Stall Turn |\n| 7 | Three-turn Spin |\n| 8 | Approach \u0026 Overshoot |\n| 9 | Rectangular Circuit |\n\n### Helicopter — A Certificate\n\n| # | Maneuver |\n|---|----------|\n| 1 | Maneuver 1 |\n| 2 | Maneuver 2 |\n| 3 | Maneuver 3 |\n\n### Helicopter — B Certificate\n\n| # | Maneuver |\n|---|----------|\n| 1 | Hovering M |\n| 2 | Top Hat |\n| 3 | Takeoff \u0026 Climb |\n| 4 | Left Hand Circuit |\n| 5 | Right Hand Circuit |\n| 6 | Stall Turn |\n| 7 | Nose-In Hover |\n| 8 | Double Stall Turn |\n| 9 | 45° Approach \u0026 Land |\n\n## Installation\n\nCopy the `bmfa-caller` folder to the `scripts/` directory on your radio:\n\n```\nscripts/\n  bmfa-caller/\n    main.lua\n    sounds/\n      mnvr1.wav … mnvr9.wav\n      mnvrst.wav\n```\n\nThen add the **BMFA Achievement Caller** widget to any screen.\n\n### Using the deploy script\n\nWith the radio connected in mass-storage mode, use the VSCode launch configuration **Deploy Radio** or run:\n\n```\npython .vscode/scripts/deploy.py --radio\n```\n\nSee [requirements.txt](requirements.txt) for Python dependencies (`pip install -r requirements.txt`).\n\n## Configuration\n\nOpen the widget settings and assign three switches:\n\n| Setting | Function |\n|---------|----------|\n| **Trigger Switch** | Advance to the next maneuver and play its audio |\n| **Repeat Switch** | Replay the current maneuver audio |\n| **Reset Switch** | Return to the start and play the reset announcement |\n\nAfter the final maneuver the sequence resets automatically.\n\n## Development\n\nRequires Python 3.11+ and the packages in [requirements.txt](requirements.txt).\n\n### VSCode launch configurations\n\n| Configuration | Action |\n|---------------|--------|\n| Deploy \u0026 Launch [SIM] | Deploy to simulator and start Ethos |\n| Deploy Radio | Copy to connected radio (mass-storage mode) |\n| Deploy Radio [Fast] | Incremental copy — changed files only |\n| Deploy Radio + Serial Debug | Deploy then open serial log |\n| Radio: Serial Debug | Open serial log without deploying |\n| Clear locks | Clear any stale deploy lock files |\n\n### Releases\n\nTag a commit `release/x.y.z` to trigger the GitHub release workflow, which builds a zip and publishes a GitHub Release.  \nTag `snapshot/x.y.z` for a pre-release snapshot.\n\nAdd release notes to [Releases.md](Releases.md) under a heading that matches the version tag (e.g. `# 1.0.0`).\n\n## Licence\n\nFree to use and modify.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frobthomson%2Fethos-bmfa-caller","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frobthomson%2Fethos-bmfa-caller","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frobthomson%2Fethos-bmfa-caller/lists"}
