Excellent Cheers for that.. :razz:

Hi Pete, Parallel is the future!! Unfortunatley the VB program I am using to test has been found on the web and is a .exe file. All it does is control the motor backeward or forwards by moving the mouse wheel.. I would like to try the example in the FSUIPC SDK. Where do I find this? Kind regards Darren

Hi Pete, many thanks for your reply. I am using a Stepper motor connected to a ULN2003 driver board which in turn is connected to the parallel port of my pc. I have a little vb program to make the stepper move backward or forwards which when enclosed in the compas housing makes the compass rotate through the use of a little magnet stuck to the plastic disk atached to the stepper motor. This works well. So... I have everything connected to my pc. I have FSX installed along with a registered version of FSUIPC (fab program by the way). I just want to know how to send data from FSX to the stepper. I am not a programmer and was hoping that her may be a plugin available that would help me interface. Kind regards Darren

Hi there fellow flight simmers. I have been using FSUIPC 4 for a few months now to control switches etc and work great. I am currently working on a Compass project for my cessna 172. Using a Normal whiskey compass a stepper motor, driver card. All looks great and works well but I now want to interface this with FSX through FSUIPC. Has anyone controled stepper motors directly using FSUIPC with data coming from FSX. Thanks Darren :idea:
