spen25 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hello, trying to figure out if its possible to display text on the Red LEDs of a GF46 similiar to the Yellow LEDs. I can get my text displayed on the yellow LEDS, but can't figure out if text is possible on the Red LEDSs. Thanks for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One will be display 0 and the other other display 1, I should think. What is the problem? Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spen25 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 That's what I thought. I tried Display 1 and it doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 That's what I thought. I tried Display 1 and it doesnt work. Strange. Does it work using the GoFlight software? What are you trying to display? Isn't the GF46 the one which has one alphanumeric display and the other numeric only? Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spen25 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Pete, yes it works using goflight software. Correct it shows one alpha numeric and the other numeric. I was doing a test using the word "door". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing a test using the word "door". Try a number. Also, please tell me what version of FSUIPC or WideClient you are using. The way the displays are handled was changed in one version not so long ago in order to get around a problem with '9's on one of the GF units. Maybe the change doesn't suit the GF46.

spen25 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Pete I'm using FSUIPC 4.80 Just tested with number and it worked, so it appears GF46 ID0 can do text and ID1 is numeric only. Is that how it suppose to work? Would be great if ID1 could accept text also as it has a longer string and the red makes for a nice cheap annunciator.

I have an GF45 and that most certainly had only one alphanumeric-capable display, so I assume the GF46 is similar. You should be able to tell by looking at the number of elements -- 7-segments in an 8 pattern = numeric, 11 elements (I think), like an 8 with a X as well, is alphanumeric.

spen25 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Pete, Correct on your assumption. Guess there goes that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
