Hi I am very new to this and I please need some help understanding a few things so that I can actually get started using FSUIPC with my PIC18F4550 microcontroller. I do not understand the following things (probably not too complicated but dont know where to start). I have a USB enabled microcontroller with a graphic 128x64 dot matrix display, connected to com10 on my PC. I can write to this display directly using windows teminal and specifying COM10 and the comms parameters....no problem OK, how do I interact with FSUIPC?, how does the program know about my com10 port?, how do I display on the graphic display the radio frequency on the King radio in a Cessna for instance? I am having trouble understanding from a basic level, how to get data and display it on my display. Do I write F/W that interrogates the FSUIPC program? or does the program send data out of the USB port all the time? I am sorry to be so vague but when I learn how to do this I can build my own simulator based on my USB microcontroller......Please help!! Best regards Ash
