cdu keyboard interface

[patrickm]

hello
i am now testing my home built fmc for 747 (from opencockpits)
when i try to write a value at offset 5428, only the first time and only once a caracter is displayed in the magenta cdu
by example if i write 65 at this offset a "A" is displayed in cdu but if i write 66 or 8 or another caracter, nothing happens !!!
i have tried to toggle some bits in the same time (of hight byte) but i am always the same trouble.

where can i find some examples or help to do this interface working?

Thank you
Patrick

Patrick,

What software are you using for your FMC?
Project Magenta, Level-D, or something else?

I am using project magenta software and i test my fmc by directly writing at offset 5428 as mentionned in the documentation

I couldnt find any PM FMC code, but here is a example of how it works for
for Level-D FMC. The offsets,of course, wouldnt work for you though....

Thank you Polmer

but i think i can't use this code for pm cdu even if i change the offset.
logic isn't the same.

Hello Patrick, perhaps the problem isn't from PM offset but from your sioc code ?
What do you use for entries ? USB KEY or inputs from MASTERCARD ?

Perhaps you could show partially your code ?

Hello Stéphane,

i am using usbkeys and iockeys.exe software but i have tried to write directy with iocpconsole at offset 5428 an ascii value like 65 or 8 or another.
the variable linked to this fsuipcc in/out display the value 65 and so on
the first time and only the first time a caracter "A" is displayed in the CDU scratchpad but nothing happens for the others caracters.
if i close and open again the magenta CDU software, i can display again only once the caracter sent by IOCPConsole and only the first one.
CDU version is the last 394 like FSUIPC
perhaps some bits of the high byte of this offset must be changed for another caracter and i have tried to send 65 + 256*2^3 (to setbit 3) without success.
can you give some examples of sioc code to manage this interface?
Thank you
Patrick

Not at this time because I use USBKEY card and Link_KEY function of SIOC too !

But I will check this problem of repetition of caracters because I'm interrested by using offset assignement instead of key sending ( problem of risk of windows focus lossing)

In documentation :
"CDU "Keyboard Interface" (2 bytes)

low byte, ascii character
high byte shift = Bit0, Ctrl = Bit1, Alt = Bit2 ... other bits must change if you have two same characters after the other..."

Yes...not very explicite as always... did you try to "reset" offset 5428 after every sending ( just an idea... )

( And be carefull too with USBkey and Link_KEYS about a similar problem with "reset"...)

I understand this is not the case as you directly use IOCPconsole to test...

Stephane
i will try to reset this offset (all bits to 0???)
but i am waiting some information from PM
perhaps this fonction isn't fully implemented ???
