  1. Just an update...... Just had a 'simbuilders moment'. A small step for most of you, but a giant step for me. Downloaded an app called 'CH Comm', which gives me an ASCII interface to FSUIPC via serial (or virtual com USB). Made my little Arduino board manipulate ALT in AP, and changing freq in the com radios :D My snowball has finally started rolling. Let's hope it keeps the momentum without too many crashes. Eventually it will probably start rolling uphill again...... but I'll rather not think of it now., Cheers Audun
  2. Thanks for your swift reply. Aha..... Glad you got me sorted on this one... I see the path ahead for interfacing now. :D Sure but, it's not educating me in the ways of FSUIPC I aplogize, but I did not see the connection to offset 3110 for the controls listed I'm learning, I'm learning. And I've been reading up for a full week. But as long as I haven't been able to interface with FSUIPC, I'm not able to make it do stuff I want it to. So it's been all theory, and no testing/experimentingfor me. Again, I apreciate your time, and I've been corrected and directed in the right direction Cheers Audun
  3. Hi all, I'm a very happy (FullFSUIPC +WideFS) customer when it comes to what I can accomplish trough the FSUIPC interface and FSX. This post is about taking everything a step further. I need help to enter the alleys of FSUIPC. I have a nice little Arduino board with an LCD output that can talk over a serial interface. I'd like to start my learning here. By making this act like a radio unit. This post is not about programming my microcontroller but rather what commands to send and how to conect to FSUIPC over serial (and the protocol involved). 1) Can someone point me in the right direction to interface with FSUIPC over a serial connection with ascii strings? How to get FSUIPC to listen and talk on the serial interface. The google search "FSUIPC RS-232" doesn't return many hits unfortunately. 2a) When I hve accomplished 1) I'd like to start off simple, by using ready made controls like the COM radio increment. Say I'd like two buttons connected to the Arduino to increment the COM1 frequency. I notice two controls I probably should be able to use 1030 Com1 use whole inc 1032 Com1 use fraq inc How should the string containing the 1030 control be formatted? 2b) How to read back the COM1 frequency from FSUIPC to the display? My guess is that offset 034E would be the one? And again: how to format the request? I hope You guys see where I'm going. I've drawn up this as an exercise for myself to get into this new world. And I think overcoming these obstacles will really widen my understanding on how to interface with FSUIPC. I know I've mentioned a microcontroller here, but a hyperterminal would do just the same trick for me to understand how to get along with the example I presented. Regards Audun
