Phi value only ever showing two values? (Pic inside)

[smithrb23]

It is the exact same problem that I am having.

What version of the Phidget21 lib do you have loaded? (I have Build 2.1.5)
And what is your Phidget TextLCD version Number? (mine is a Version 123)

Alan indicates he is still using Phidget21v Lib 2.1.4 to test the FS2Phidgets

I have found out that my TextLCD unit will not even load up in FS2Phidget with the Phidget21 lib 2.1.4 installed.

What is your PC system configuration?

All latest so 2.1.5 and yes version 123.

2.1.4 doesn't load the cards either, sees they are there just won't allow me to config it.

Such a good thing when it works

Had a few minutes before my daughter and her husband arrive for Christmas dinner.

I downloaded 2.1.5 and work ok on my set up.
Rick has an updated FS2Phidget executable to try that I built against 2.1.5.

Merry Christmas,
Alan

Differences between systems where working and not working?

Hardware - say, 32-bit versus 64-bit?
Operating systems- XP, Vista, SP2 versus SP3 for XP?
FSUIPC versions?
Phidget versions?
FS2Phidget source - Mycockpit.org download versus zip from a buddy?

Concorde mentions incrementing values - how is value being incremented?
Encoder? MS-FS?

NEW - NOT WORKING
Hardware - Intel E5200, Abit IP43, 2Gb PC6400C4, 80Gb SATA, HD3650) (all drivers latest)
Operating systems- XP 32 bit SP3 (fully patched)
FSUIPC versions - latest (3.85)
Phidget versions - latest (2.1.5 I believe!) - (2.1.4 does not allow FS2Phidget to pick the cards up.)
FS2Phidget source - Mycockpit.org download

OLD - WORKING
Hardware - Some AMD64 thing,
Operating systems- XP 32 bit SP2/SP3 and probably fully patched

FS2Phidget displays the correct FS Value in the 'FS Value' column.

As far as I can see FS2Phidget is getting the correct values from flight sim, but somewhere along the line it drops/looses all but the first two figures as above.

I've also copied across a known good config FSVariable from another machine and that is doing the same thing.

I will later try it on my macbook pro here to see if I can recreate it.

I hope that is clear now? Sorry if my previous attempts haven't been quite clear enough!!

Cheers!

Alan: Have you an updated executable for me to test?

[Concorde Rules]

Ok, had a bash in Windows XP SP2 on my macbook pro and im afraid its the same story as above with only the first two figures ever showing.

Some more to add tho and that is that:

In the "Configure" line side of things, if I add some text after the # like:

#### Percent N1

It doesn't show anything past the first two ##.

It looks like the software is chopping the lines its receiving. Or maybe the phidget software is doing it, but as it works fine in there test program I dunno *shrug*.

If I could also have the 2.1.5 build that would be smashing, see if we get anywhere

Edit: smithrb23, are you having the same issue as I posted above in post #15?

[CocnutAir]

Concoder,

I am confused.
You list under OLD - WORKING
version 2.1.4 of Phidgets

Then under NEW- NOT WORKING
You add a rider: "2.1.4 does not allow FS2Phidget to pick the cards up"
That doesn't sound like a working solution.
Which implies the OLD was also NOT WORKING.

Yes:

I am having the exact same problem you describe in message reply #15

Sorry, wasn't really paying attention when I posted that!!!

As far as I know the old machine was running latest phidget installer (2.1.5) and either 4.3.7 or 4.3.8 of FS2Phidget. However I don't have the machine here so I can't tell.

However I *think* it was 4.3.7, although now i've completely confused myself!

Edit: Ok, old machine is running 4.3.7 with the "Phidget 21 - 2.1.4 & Phidget 21.Net - 2.1.4.29" software. However the 2.1.5 and 4.3.7 combination on my machine led to FS2Phidget detecting the presence of the cards but now allowing me to config it.
