Throttle Control Alternative for Phidgets

[diegov]

Hi Potroh,

After reading your post, I will need to modify DVATX to read 0x051C bit 2 for TOGA.. Ill try do this over the weekend and report back.. Even though DVATX doesnt specifically accept values in bit format, you should be able to set bit values with bytes.. IE if you want to set bit 0 to on, you can try specify the byte value of 1 ,if you want to set bit 1 to on set the byte value to 2, bit 3 to on, byte value of 4 and so on...

You could set all the bits to on by using a value of 255, for example.

Regarding the dvatx download, I think the file is not available as yet as MyCockpit has not approved it.

Ill make those modification on the weekend and post something up.. Let me know how you go with setting TOGA by assigning a value of 1 to 050A in dvatx.ini

Cheers

Diego

Hi Diego,

Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated.
I guess the easiest would be if you could just check 050A bit 3 or 4, when ProjectMagenta=1 as according to the PM documentation it just does what we need, it is supposed to be knowing when to disconnect the throttle. No need to check it separately, as I am not sure it wouldn't do some problems when doing an LNAV descent.
PM's 'retard' annunciation I think is specific to the suite, so it would be simpler.

I will of course test setting bits in dvatx this evening (if I knew 6 months ago it was possible...)

Waiting for your incredible further efforts.

thanks and regards
Potroh

Hi Diego,

Not to urge you or sort of stuff like that, but did you have any luck?
I'm truly excited about the toga thing...
