Lua file doesn't work for Carenado Phenom 100


Recommended Posts

I got a lua file from Bruce Buckley in the Carenado Phenom 100 so I could the taxi/landing light switch to a button.

-- Parameters by Number
--------------------------------------------
-- 1    Move Ldg_Taxi Lt SW UP one position  --  E50P
-- 2    Move Ldg_Taxi Lt SW DN one position  --  E50P
-- 3    Turn ON NAV & STROBE Lts             --  E50P, PA28, C172
-- 4    Turn OFF NAV & STROBE Lts             --  E50P, PA28, C172
-- 5    Turn ON Fuel Pump                       --  PA28, C172
-- 6    Turn OFF Fuel Pump                     --  PA28, C172
 
--------------------------------------------
---- Variables
--------------------------------------------
    SW_Pos      = "L:ASD_SWITCH_LANDING_TAXI_EMB500"
 
--------------------------------------------
---- Scripts
--------------------------------------------
 
-- Move Ldg_Taxi Lt SW UP one position
if ipcPARAM == 1 then
    SWPos = ipc.readLvar(SW_Pos)
    if SWPos == 0 then
        ipc.writeLvar(SW_Pos, 1) 
        ipc.setbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8) 
    end
    if SW_os == 1 then
        ipc.writeLvar(SW_Pos, 2)
        ipc.clearbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8)        
        ipc.setbitsUW(0x0D0C, 4)
    end
end
 
-- Move Ldg_Taxi Lt SW DN one position
if ipcPARAM == 2 then
   SWPos = ipc.readLvar(SW_Pos)
    if SWPos == 2 then
        ipc.writeLvar(SW_Pos, 1) 
        ipc.clearbitsUW(0x0D0C, 4)            
        ipc.setbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8)     
    end
    if SWPos == 1 then
        ipc.writeLvar(SW_Pos, 0) 
        ipc.clearbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8)
    end
end

This is the script that I got.  I left out the ones for variable 3-6.  But nothing happens when I try it.  Here's the lua log that comes up.

Bruce says it works for him and many others.  I'm using steam, but I have other lua files that work just fine.  Any ideas what the problem is?

John,

Did you check for typos as I suggested?  I see at least one.

"if SW_os == 1 then"  should be "if SWPos == 1 then"  in the "-- Move Ldg_Taxi Lt SW UP one position" routine.  That's why I asked you to send me the file.  I know the script works in FSX and in P3DV4.  Fix that typo and let us know if it works then.

Hello johnk515

You should look for special chars in your script . I think a0 can not be handled.

Luacmds.lua script first five lines in HEX

a0 20 0d 0a 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d  . ..------------

Thomas
P.s.

you have 204 x a0 in your script. In HTML the meaning is protected space

If you have copied from a browser, this is not uncommon.

Hello Thomas,

for your information only ..

your cleanup from spaces new .lua file you accidentally removed the S

Line 41 ...

-- Move Ldg_Taxi Lt SW DN one position
if ipcPARAM == 2 then
    WPos = ipc.readLvar(SW_Pos)       <-------------  WPos should be SWPos
    if SWPos == 2 then
        ipc.writeLvar(SW_Pos, 1)
        ipc.clearbitsUW(0x0D0C, 4)
        ipc.setbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8)
    end
    if SWPos == 1 then
        ipc.writeLvar(SW_Pos, 0)
        ipc.clearbitsUW(0x0D0C, 8)
    end
end

------------------------------------------------------------------

And also take care 73 x a0 are left in the file !
Is only a question of the time, when by editing an a0 into a wrong position comes.

FYI. The topic at AVSIM where I posted the script in a post and also posted a link to download the Lua file.  If the file is downloaded and placed in the modules folder it should work correctly. It must have been copied from the post in a browser.
