FSX CDU II and NGX

[Jorik]

Hi there,

I connected my vrinsight CDU2 to my FSUIPC via the entry in the ini file of FSUIPC.

I also added a LUA file to the Modules map.

I did assign every button with the buttons tab from FSUIPC and selected FSControl and the name of the LUA with the corresponding number in the parameter box.

Now every button of my CDU is doing the right action.

The only problem is that I need to press every button two times.

Can somebody help me out?

At the bottom is the LUA enetery.

Now every button of my CDU is doing the right action.

The only problem is that I need to press every button two times.

That's simply because the way VRI program their devices it sends an On message on one press and an Off message on the next press, rather than an On when pressed and an Off when released. Therefore you need to assign exactly the same thing twice to every button -- once for press and once for release.

The easiest way is probably to edit your [buttons] section in the INI file. Make a straight copy of all of the CDU assigned button lines, add them to the end, renumber the line numbers to follow on, and change the initial "P" (Press) to "U" (Unpress -- R is used for Repeat).

Regards

Pete

In FSUIPC you need to assign the parameter to both the press and release function for each button on the CDU2, its a minor irritation in the way VRinsight make their hardware function.

Edit: Pete beat me to it.

Hi,

I have my CDU I connected and do the following:

a function to press the key:

function key_press(icode)

ipc.control(icode,4194304)

ipc.sleep(1)

ipc.control(icode,131072)

ipc.sleep(1)

ipc.control(icode,536870912)

end

And then the individual keys code with your method:

if ipcPARAM == 101 then

key_press(70166)

elseif ...

Hope that help
