Does anyone have experience with PM Systems and the Master Caution / Warning and 6 pack lights. I'm running the default 'logic' for the 737 supplied with PM Systems. The 6 pack lights work but I can't get the Master Caution to cancel them. The Recall button seems not to function either.

Any info welcomed. Regards, ID.

Hi ID,

this may be the answer to your question I think:

"Hi Peter and other fellow builders,

I did some further testing by removing FS2Phidgets software out of the loop and just using PMSystems thus forgoing the "test" function...and I finally got it to WORK!!! just through PMSystems.

In the logic file for the 737 I find:

if recallswitch then
sixpackfltcontdisp = 0
sixpackhyddisp = 0
....
....etc
else
sixpackfltcontdisp = sixpackfltcont
sixpackhyddisp = sixpackhyd
....
....etc
endif

So I found all I had to do was set sixpackflcontdisp, sixpackhyddisp and all other sixpack...disp variables = 1 rather than 0 as in the logic file in the recallswitch code. I also found that I had assigned the wrong variable to my phidget outputs...the non "disp" ones i.e sixpackhyd instead of sixpackhyddisp....

When rectified the above an I tried it....it worked like a charm. Very nice !!!

Cheers,
Luke "

Thanks Peter, I'll have a closer look at the 'logic'.
