[VrInsight CDU ii (2 pieces)]

HIDscanner didn't found any of the CDUs

But using com.read in Lua Script seems to work. Thank you for your help.

For all with the same Problem:
- I added 3 Areas in the FSUIPC.ini
 

[VRINSIGHT]
1=COM4
2=COM5

[VRInsight.CDU2]
Lua=CDUpilot
DriverReads=YES
DriverWrites=NO

[VRInsight.CDU2]
Lua=CDUfo
DriverReads=YES
DriverWrites=NO

- For the Lua script itself i used parts of HDIdemo and VRI_SetMach
The Main Function actually writes only a log of what i received by the com port.

if VRImodel == nil then
   -- Set known ports if testing with Lua not loaded automatically
   VRIdevice = "COM4"
end

speed = 115200 -- is this the same for all VRI devices?
handshake = 0  -- No handshake
minsize = 8
maxsize = 8    -- VRI seems to use fixed length blocks of 8 bytes

-- Polling rate in number of polls per second
-- Must higher than 0
Pollrate = 20

dev = com.open(VRIdevice, speed, handshake)
if dev == 0 then
   ipc.log("Could not open VRIdevice port")
   ipc.exit()
end

-- Hauptfunktion
function Poll(time)
	str, n = com.read(dev,8)
	ipc.log(str)				-- Here i receive Data from Com Port for example "LSKL1" or "FUN11" or "KEYA"
end

if Pollrate == 0 then
   -- Ouch. Mustn't divide by zero!
   Pollrate = 20 
end
event.timer(1000/Pollrate, "Poll")  -- poll values 'Pollrate' times per second

Hi Pete

Thanks for your Response.
I will give it a try by using LUA script
Also i will have a look to virtual Buttons. - Don't know when i will find some time to check it but i will give response for my results.

Hi there

I followed instruction in advanced user guide appendix 3 and added a VRINSIGHT Section to FSUIPC.ini

[VRINSIGHT]
1=COM4
2=COM5

But now both Devices will be detected with the same joystick number.
What do i have to do that i can use both of them seperately. I want one for the Pilots input and the other one for the FO input so i must differentiate both CDUs

Thank you

 

PS: Using FSX and FSUIPC 4 latest Version

[Registrating FSUIPC4 and WideFS7]

Thanks for very fast answer 😉

Am i right? There is no demo (Test-Mode) for WideFS isn't it?

[Registrating FSUIPC4 and WideFS7]

Hi there

On simmarket i saw the statement " Note: If both WideFS7 and FSUIPC4 or FSUIPC5 are registered, both registrations must use the same user name. "

As my mailadress has changed since i bought FSUIPC i'm not sure if i can order a key for WideFS that will work.
So must name AND mail be the same for both progs?  If yes how can i get a registration key with my old inactive mailadress?

kind regards
Stefan

[Pokeys Device Lua Script / External DLL using luacom]

Hi there

 

how can i steer the PWM Outputs of Pokeys57E using LUA script?

 

i tried this

 

 

chk_pin_121_42, pin_121_42 = poKey121:GetAnalogInput(41)

  if(pin_121_42 <= 15) then        --Input 42 Poti (Analog In) max value 4080 min value 15

  pin_121_42 = 0

  end  

poKey121:SetPWMOutputs(0,4080,pin_121_42)

--Output liegt auf Pin 22 bzw. Channel 0

 

but on line 5 Flight Simulator will crash down :(

 

Thanks for helping

[Dont know how to use GF-T8 for APU Toggle Switch]

Ohh sorry these are my first steps with FSUIPC and didn´t ralize you need more info

I use iFly 737NG with FSX (i think the iFly wont understand the control 66704 to toggle the needed switch on the overhead)

FSUIPC - Version 4.853

also istalled LUA Version 5.1.4

[LUA - check a single bit of an offset]

Hi there

i try to set a toggle switch for taxi lights.

I know how to check an complete offset for changes - it´s like that

event.offset("0D0C", "UW", "TaxiLights")

But how can check just the bit which is important for the TaxiLights? (In this case the bit i need to know is :cool:

I think i can read out the value of a bit so that i can decide if a LED has to turn on or off for the next step.

Hope you´ll understand my english

Thanks for your response.

Stefan

EDIT:

Sorry for the question i think i found a workaround.

If you´re interested in it i will post it.

function TaxiLights(offset, value) -- TaxiLights prüfen und LED schalten

gfd.SetBright(GFT8, 0, 12)

TL = logic.And(ipc.readUW(0x0D0C), 8) -- Wert prüfen ob TaxiLight ein oder aus sind

if TL == 1 then

gfd.SetLight(GFT8, 0, 1)

else

gfd.ClearLight(GFT8, 0, 1)

end

end

function SetTaxiLights(model, unit) -- Taxi Lights ein/ausschalten

gfd.GetValues(model, unit)

if gfd.TestButton(1) then -- prüfen ob Hebel für Taxi lights Wert true hat

ipc.clearbitsUW(0X0D0C,8)

else

ipc.setbitsUW(0X0D0C,8)

end

end

event.offset("0D0C", "UW", "TaxiLights") -- Abfrage ob Aktion bei Lichtern

event.gfd(GFT8, 0, "SetTaxiLights") -- Abfrage ob Aktion bei Switches

[Dont know how to use GF-T8 for APU Toggle Switch]

Hello i don´t know whats wrong with my cofiguration.

I want to set one Switch of the GF-T8 modul for starting or shutdown the APU.

If i use the T8 switch nothing happens.

In the logfile i can see this if i use the switch of the T8 modul

579419 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=109, Btn=2, Pressed

579419 [buttons] 5=P109,2,C66705,0

579419 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66705, Param=0

580059 Button changed: bRef=0, Joy=109, Btn=2, Released

580059 [buttons] 6=U109,2,C66704,0

580059 FS Control Sent: Ctrl=66704, Param=0

and this if i use the APU switch in FSX by clicking with the mouse

582524 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66704 (0x00010490), Param= 0 (0x00000000) APU_STARTER

583444 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 66705 (0x00010491), Param= 0 (0x00000000) APU_OFF_SWITCH

What can i do to get the switch work with the Goflight modul?
