I have a transponder that sends digits from arduino via serial which FSUIPC reads. I can parse the serial and see the digits (i.e.:1200) but have a problem controlling the setting.
If I look for a specific string (like 1200) I can then send something specific in ipc.control, like 0x1200 .
For example, this works:
function Arduino_Data(Arduino_Com_Port, datastring, length)
if (string.find(datastring, "1200")) then
ipc.control(65715,0x1200)
end
end
However, doing it this way I would have to look for all variations ox 0000 thru 7777 and write each ipc.control manually.
So I am trying this:
function Arduino_Data(Arduino_Com_Port, datastring, length)
if (string.find(datastring, "%d")) then
xpdrcode=tonumber(datastring)
ipc.control(65715,xpdrcode)
end
end
The problem is ipc.control requires 0x. I seem to be unable to pass it a variable successfully
I have even tried this to no avail.
function Arduino_Data(Arduino_Com_Port, datastring, length)
if (string.find(datastring, "%d")) then
xpdrcode=tonumber(datastring)
xpdrcodehex=string.format("%x",xpdrcode)
ipc.control(65715,xpdrcodehex)
end
end
Can anyone provide direction on how to get the proper format for the ipc.control parameter?
This is my first foray into LUA and I have very limited programming knowledge but it is fun.
Thanks,
Vin
