I will give it a go and report back. Thanks!

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

Works like a charm!
I had to look up the two dots thing but now I know. Thanks again!
