777 DSP Panel - Hagstrom Board - FSUIPC - Project Magenta

Pete

Can you point me in the right direction.

I currently have my 777DSP Panel connected to a Hagstrom KE72 via my COM port.

I want to be able to select the various synoptic pages (Elec, Fctrl, Eng, Fuel etc.) from the PM Glass Cockpit software using my DSP Panel.

I know I need to use my FSUIPC, but am not sure how and what I need to do.

Will the serial connection need to be connected to the computer running FSUIPC or will it run across WideFS?

I'm afraid I know nothing about your hardware. I thought the Hagstrom stuff were keyboard emulators. If it connects to a COM port I assume it has it's own driver software? You'd need to consult the documentation.

The "right direction" to find out about controlling PM software is the PM website, http://www.projectmagenta.com. There's a section there with documentation (including FSUIPC offsets for PM, if that is how your Hagstrom driver works). Additionally you will find a Support group there which can operate as a web Forum or an email newsgroup. Try there, I'm sure there will be others using similar hardware.

As well as not knowing the Hagstrom stuff, I must admit to know knowing much about PMs "synoptics" -- there are none for the 737. :-(

Will the serial connection need to be connected to the computer running FSUIPC or will it run across WideFS?

Sorry, I have no idea what drives your serial connection. Certainly nothing of mine. Surely it comes with some driver or other and documentation? If it interfaces only to FSUIPC, then it will to WideFS as well.
