Dealing with Offset $0D6C and $0D70

[Jackson]

Dear Pete,
 
I have already started, to built my own cockpit. Now I'm trying to change ECAM views of the airbusX with a lua script. I have a switch connected via Opencockpit I/O cards. The sioc script is the following.

I found out quite hard, that I have ti change letters into ASCII code and use offset with length 1 and write every letter separate.

But how can I get FSUIPC to know, the name is complete and to start the action.

 

Enclosed the Sioc sript.

 

 

Have a nice time over the years change.

 

Best regards

Jackson.

Ugh! If you are using Lua, why not simply have a resident Lua plug-in (loaded by an [Auto] section) which uses event.offset to watch for changes to a selected user offset (such as 66C0) where your IOCARD driver can write a number for action?

 

BTW with strings you must write a zero at the end to terminate the string as well (this is actually included when you define strings like "string").

 

But how can I get FSUIPC to know, the name is complete and to start the action.

 

The facility to execute a macro operates immediately you write to 0D70, which is why you are supposed to write the whole string at once. Otherwise you'd need to write to 0D70 last.

Hi Pete,

 

thanks for your quick replay. I understud now, how to deal with tis two offsets. But according to the Lua plug-in, I have to dig out, how this works, but seems to be more comfortable.

Is there a place, where I can see an example of a script with an event.offset ?

I will go through your Lua documents, supplied with FSUIPC.

There are all sorts of examples of different Lua plug-in methods in the ZIP file in your FSUIPC Documents about Lua plug-ins. You will probably also find lots of different examples in the User Contributions subforum.

 

I would help you once you make a start and try things, but my time is very limited until I return from holiday on the 9th -- I am not actually away yet, just preparing. ;-)

 

In any case there are others here who will be able to help. But be specific in your thread title so you attract the right responders (start a new thread).
