Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
Hi Barry,
Ok I think it was much easier than I thought...
try that:
http://www.jeehell.org/JeeHell_IIT_V2.zip
You will need to unzip the files in your c:\A320FMGS\Hardware modules folder, replacing the previous ones.
It will create an IIT.dnt2 file, so your old one should not get erased. BUT MAKE A BACKUP anyway.
You cannot use both DLL versions at the same time (the DLL will take ownership of all the IIT boards...).
This is highly untested, so far from a production version, until someone makes comprehensive tests with it (several boards, several switces/LEDs per boards, mixed with modules, etc...).
But I conducted one small test with 3 buttons, including the IRS selector, and it worked...
Please keep us posted...
Regards
JL

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
OK we have loaded the switches, first results encouraging but with some different results.
First point is that I can turn the ADIRS On and Off with just the one wire to the nav position. Rapid alignment! Magic !!!
I have a mix of on/off and toggles. Looking at the on/off only at this point I can get two results from the same settings, for example:
With the APU running I can turn bleed air on with a press and when I press again it turns off, more magic.
If however I play with the ADR1 switch, I can turn it on. Then when I turn the switch off it does not turn the system off but if I turn the switch on again it turns the system off. So it's like a toggle but I have to press twice to turn off and then twice to turn on again.
The way the bleed works as I would expect leads me to think I am using the setting procedure correct using switch down and switch up.
Perhaps the system is making assumptions as to which switches I have set up as toggles and which as on/off. I worked to a plan FDS gave me some years ago but perhaps it is not correct (so perhaps the system expects my ADR1 to be a toggle and not an on/off, it would work correctly then).
I have not checked all of the switches yet, as you know a full reprogramming is quite a long job but worth it when we get it all working.
Any comments anywhere?

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
Hi Barry
The ADR switches are indeed toggling ones... So the soft does not allow the on off positions. What you can do to bypass that: select the Down action for both positions. This way, every time you press the switch (locking or releasing it) it will send the down event.
There are a few others which are toggles. Off my head:
-ADR
- Apu master
- yellow elec pump
-IDGs
-EXT PWR
And some others probably...

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
Thanks, going well so far but it's a long job reassigning all the switches and led's.
No faults found yet.

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
I have just about all of the overhead and MIP working properly, have had to experiment with settings on quite a few.
The only function so far which I have not been able to get working is the gear switch. Mechanically it is a switch which makes with the gear up and breaks with gear down. I can select gear up and it works. Selecting gear down does not work but pressing G on the keyboard puts it down with correct lights.
Any suggestions welcome.

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
This is strange.
Can you test with for instance a joystick button?
I will try to test that tomorrow evening on my side, but this sounds weird.
Which actions did you select for the gear down action?

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
OK JL, it is fixed. I put together a matrix of all the options switch up/switch down and gearup/geardown and flew them on circuits until I hit on the one that worked. Gear is harder than system switches as it is necessary to get off the ground to test it.
i think JL that you have created a lot of flexibility with the program now which enables us to select the combinations for our hardware. Toggles, switches, rotaries etc, just needs a lot of patience to get each switch right! Takes hours of work!

Re: Overhead with InterFaceIt
Hi, just trying the new DLL, what i found is i can't set my 3 position switches for example "no smoking" to the AUTO position we can select only from On/Off 'cause previously the software made automatically the assumption if it's not On or Off then it will be AUTO, so can you jeehell insert all the 3 position for all the switches that have those? I have real switches so wired all the three position... best regards...
