Hello Pete
First of all: Thank you for the time you take answering me.
I will explain what I want:
I'm building a home cockpit, using PMDG 737.
As we know, offsets are limited for PMDG.
My objection is to light certain B737 indicators according to Flightsim.
I use a small but great emulator program named GLOVEPIE. You can emulate key presses, mouse clicks, midi speech, trackIR, WII and many more.
It also uses PPJOY, which is Windows Parallel Port Joystick driver, which is actually a VIRTUAL joystick for
windows. I assumed you knew it, sorry..
But PPJOY is recognised as a normal joystick by windows AND Flightsim! It's my JOY 2 on Flightsim and de FSUIPC Virtual Joysticks starts at number 64.
I already emulated PPjoy button presses whitin Flightsimulator(9).
GlovePie can trigger an event upon the change of a specified SCREENPIXEL!
So when my indicator lightens and the pixel color changes, it sends a ppjoy button.
I could also use a keypress, but want to save keys for other purposes, since I have many Indicators.
I use IO Hardware SIOC, from OpenCockpits, which can read and write offsets. If it can readout the PPjoybutton I would be able to light a LED according to the indicator.
So,
- GlovePIE able to see pixelcolor and trigger event: joystick button or keypress
- Hardware/Software able to light led according to SIOC and Offsets
How to interconnect those two?
Or is it possible to set and read certain "flags" at a certain offset with the event of a joystick button?
Thanks Again,
Airspace
