Setbits, clearbits

[Eagle_For]

Hello Pete

I would use a byte for the status of a ten pushbuttons from several variables like :L:AB_MPL_FD" in order to recover in an FSUIPC offset.

 

So I wrote the following LUA script :

 

if (ipc.readLvar ("L:AB_MPL_FD") == 1 then

   ipc.clearbitsUB(0X66C0,1)

else

   ipc.setbits(0X66C0,1)

end

 

This unfortunately does not work.

 

Can tell me here I am wrong.

I use masks in decimal (1,1,4,8,.....)

 

Tank you for your reply.

Two errors to start with. A byte contains 8 bits, not 10. "UB" means "Unsigned Byte". You need UW (Unsigned Word).

 

   ipc.setbits(0X66C0,1)

 

isn't valid. there's no "ipc.setbits". You forgot to put the size in (UB or UW).

 

Please ALWAYS check the FSUIPC log file when developing a plug in. it would show this error.

I assume you mean 1, 2, 4, 8 ...?

 

I don't see any other than your test for setting the 1 bit, bit 0.
