FS2Phidgets and an LED64 board

[Shawn]

I'm having some difficulty trying to get some of my annuciators to light up. I probably should have done some more testing before actually building the annuciator panel but live and learn I guess. I was hoping to be able to light up the left and right generator lights (when the generators are turned off) as well as a left and right engine start light (that will light up as the engines start to spool up), problem is I can't seem to find a variable in the dropdown list that will do this for me. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion or some advice on getting this working.

Thanks

Hi Shawn:

The Fs2Phidgets list doesn't have all the possible FSUIPC offsets.
Get a copy of the FSUIPC SDK from Pete Dowsons site.
It lists most of the known offsets. Offset $0894 and $092C are the
"Engine Running" offsets. I am using them for my start panel.

You will have to use the phidgets variable editor to add them to the drop down box in Fs2Phidgets. I had to use the "range of values" definition to get them to work. (mult=100 min=37 max=112)

Also remember that some offsets only work with certain types of aircraft.
You may need to delve into the Air and Config file for your specific aircraft.

Thanks for the reply Ken. I'll print off the FSUIPC SDK and start studying.

Cheers
