Interface 8/8/8 and FS2Phidget 4315

[Potrohkocsonya]

Hi,

Trying to get two new 8/8/8 cards to get work under Win7-64 with the latest dlls.
No joy.
Tried at least 20 older drivers, including the latest x86 which allows to be installed on a 64 system, no change.

Hence my question: will they work on W7-64 and the older FS2Phidget4315.exe file?

thanks
Potroh

Try this Phidgets driver I use with Fs2Ph 4315: Version 2.1.6 Buil Mar 12 2009.

Thanks Arnaldo.
But the latest I found on the phidgets site is dated 3.17.2009

Potroh

P.S.: Unfortunately I need to use the older FS2Ph as the new one is simply something my IQ can not climb up.

Hi Potroh,

on the bottom page of Phidgets driver you'll find "older version" and there you find the version tou need.

Hi Arnaldo,

I'm a careless asshole, how could I not find it by myself?
Many thanks for your help and it works just as it should!

grateful

HI Potroh,

I'm happy that all works fine because I had same problems time ago.

Bye

Hello, my name is Gary, Barstow California.

I have built a Bell 212 helicopter simulator, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwBbbF-Pgh4, and have a question about FS2Phidget logic.

Simply, I'm looking for my analog switch to RESET my "Master Caution" light.

I'm using FS2P 5.0.19, My digital inputs are a KEUBS108 keyboard emulator.
I have my Master Caution light in FS2P and right before the Master Caution light in FS2P is a Digital Input button with the Pust-To-Reset set "TRUE".
I need to activate the FS2P Digital Input with my input, but first when I press the Digital FS2P Input it only interupts the my Master Caution light, briefly, then re-illuminates. Isn't, once FS2P Digital Input pressed, the Digital Output should Latch and wait for another trigger?

Anyway thanks for any assistance. Gary

Is other trigger on same circuit? Is other trigger digital input?

Hello from Barstow!

The way I used FS2P was to have every system in a separate circuit, ELECTRIC, HYDRAULICS, FUEL, etc.. As you know, you want 1 single "Master Caution", MASTER CAUTION Box light. Thats the indicator that is directly in the pilots eye to catch attention to look at the MASTER CAUTION Box. Anyway, I am unable to insert my 1 LED64 output in more than one circuit. Is there a way to, with an FS2P component, trigger that one LED64 output remotely from several other FS2P circuit?

Then be able to reset the 1 LED64 single "Master Caution" light only, turn it off, and wait for another remote FS2P trigger.

"Is other trigger on same circuit?" : No.
"Is other trigger digital input?" : No.

My triggering mechanisms will be sent from within FS2P as a result of the particluar circuit's condition.

i.e. : Low fuel condition, I have the FUEL circuit illuminate a LED64 output as an indicator on my Master Caution Box. Now I'd like to also send a signal to the Master, MASTER CAUTION light LED64 output abling to reset that light while I deal with the problem, in this case, LOW FUEL.

I tried the RESET option but it just makes the light Blink once, plus I need to use the same LED64 output for many conditions as opposed to the Master Caution Box which has a LED64 output for each circuit.

Anyway, I hope I have explained this to be understood, these Forums are very helpful to users as well as developers, but there is so much time in between one must stay focused and be sure to word things right. Whehw!

Gary,

I am on the road this week, and don't have my personal laptop with me to see details of my six-pack and annunciator circuits.
You can create your own internal FS Variables.
Internal FS Variables do not update FS or read from FS. Only used within FS2ph.
These allow one to pass values and/or states between circuits.

Regards,
Alan

Hello ALL, I am trying to interface my analog Altimeter gauge to FSX. I would like to drive the gauge with my small motor and gearbox. Can anyone look at the below, very crude idea and help me to use FS2Phidget FSVariable to achieve something like this? This portion only illustrates a Positive climb, forward motor movement. Need to also provide a reverse motor movement, AM = AM - 1.

FSXO= FSX Offset for altitude, a number between 0 and 10,000.
AM= a counter for the Altitude Motor controlling logic.

50 AM = 0
10 if AM=FSXO then goto 100
20 AM=AM + 1
30 turn on motor
40 goto 10

100 turn motor off
110 goto 10

Thinking:

If FSX aircraft is at sea level then FSXO ~20
the above circuit (10) checks if AM counter matches, if not then goes to (20) makes AM=1, (30) turns on the motor, (40) goes back to (10) and continues until (10) is TRUE, AM=20, then goes to (100) and turns the motor OFF.

I just do not know how to ask FS2Phidget to do this.

What do you think?

Gary
