PMSystems offsets help

[raflyer]

I'm trying to set up the battery toggle switch in PMSYSTEMS using my CPFlight interface. The offset is 5628.0 bit 0 What is the size of this byte? 1,2,4,8 etc?

Thanks,

Rob

You are in the wrong Support Forum, actually. You need the PM NewsGroup.

However, in this particular case I may be able to help. Enrico uses the notation ".n" to mean "bit 0", so you do not say "5628.0 bit 0, it is either "5628 bit 0", or, in Enrico's terms "5628.0".

As for what size is the byte, all bytes are, by definition, 8 bits in length. That's what "byte" means. However, sonce you only want to change one bit, surely the length is irrelevant? The length of 1 bit is 1 bit.
