Pedestal panels integration

[Antonio Jose]

I'm doing some test with this software and so far I get the Overhead and the FCU working very well.

The challeng now is the pedestal. All my panel are connected to arduino boards that comunicate with OFFSETS via Lua Scripts.
MCDU ECP and rudder trim works fine, since I found the offsets in the documentation.

But Radio Panel, Weather Radar, Transponder and switching not really. The SIOC creator have this panels to be set, but I don't use it.

How can I integrate this panels with the software?

You can't using FSUIPC offsets. I will maybe add a few offsets but that's a lot of buttons for not much.
It is possible to use SIOC creator without having any opencockpit hardware. You need to make your own added script, and use your own offsets (FSUIPC has some free offsets range to allow people to do personal stuff), and force the SIOC input variables to your actual hardware status.

Hi there Jeehell,
Thanks for the reply.

This is already something .Didn't know that I can have SIOC scripts without opencockpit hardware.

Is there any tutorial to input/output this panels with SIOC?

[jeehell]

to be more precise: you need to use SIOC Creator (provided with the SIOC support options in my soft). There you declare virtual hardware where you need it. Then analyse the SIOC Code produced by SIOC Creator. Then make your own additional code in a txt file which SIOC Creator will then append to the final script.

OK, I've got something.

Extract Active Frequency RMP with SIOC Create generate this script:
Var 0001, name RMP1Act_disp, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Digit 1, Numbers 6

Just need to change for this to get the active frequency?
Var 0001, name RMP1Act_disp, Link FSUIPC_OUT Offset $66C0 Length 2

And by the way, how your software connect to SIOC? Do I need to create a virtual SIOC card, or only the Hardware connect running?

I there Jeehell.

I just figured out how it all works. Now my panels of the pedestal works fine except one. The Weather Radar.

Are you thinking in create that panel in SIOC creator?

[jeehell]

Check latest version....

[Antonio Jose]

This is amazing.
While I was making tests, a new version is already out with a lots of improvements.


I've installed and there it is, the weather radar panel.


All I can say now is a big thanks for this software and all your help. I'll keep making tests.

Hello, could you tell me how you did it? Btw which arduino are you using and how did you link it to FSX/Fsuipc or what did you do? Please explain I am starting to build my homecockpit and I would like to know
