FSBUS - OK someone bring me a rope...

WELL WELL WELL - yesterday was a MILE stone in cockpit building LOL - BUT only one of MANY to come.

I spent some time chatting to Stefan (sgaert) and figured out that my header pins for the displays was not correct and should be on the "solder" or copper side. I switched them and BOOOM!!! It was working perfectly! So in short, i have learned TONS and tons more to come. Considering i have now built the COM, NGIO and 6Pack display boards i still need to do a DO64, for which i have all the components, and then i start again and build another 3 NGIO boards - for now - and another 6pack while i build the MIP etc and get another 19" wide monitor. Then it is buying FSXpand or something like it.

I have been testing with the CDK and not DLL. When i have noticed is that I tested the fist display with course (OBS) and it worked fine - a little delayed and when i change the digits it doesn't "count" but jumps to the final number i.e. if it is 90 degrees and i change it to 110 it doesn't count as i increment but it jumps with the final 110 number. Can this be sorted with the DLL??

Thanks ahgain to EVERYONE especially Stefan for all the assistance. I no longer need a rope LOL

I am having a slight problem with FSBUS Router - I can get LEDs working and 7seg displays and switches etc BUT where i am having a problem is with the rotary switches. I have modified one for testing (12 pos) and setup in FSBUS as a a 4 stage rotary in the admin program. Then i opened FSBUS router (latest 2.4.3.1) and setup displays and switches etc. However, when i test i get the corect 1 or -1 on a turn so it works in Admin but in Router it doesn not work...

Any ideas? I read somewhere someone selected digital rotary? Where do i find that?? I am using NG boards.

Thanks in advance.

The router don't support the NG boards.

OK after much testing on my ideas for my cockpit it was time to take the plunge and get one of THE most important pieces of software FSUIPC and WideFS!!

Thank you Peter for this FANTASTIC piece of software. Prepare yourself for MANY stupid questions
