For version 4 the only manual I've seen is built into the Help function within the program. For V5 I believe you'll find it in the zip file or in the install directory as a PDF file.
Re: Fs2Phidgets & IRS Panel
Thank you for reply,
online help has only the very simple and maybe for an old version of Fs2Phidgets.
I can't understand why everybody use the 4.xx version and not the v5.xx. It is better ?

I had the same question. I can make the scripts in V5 dance, but I am struggling with V4. As I understand it the developer started to build out V5 using maybe a new programming language??? but ran into a number of issues and made the decision to stop further development and refocus efforts on V4. I had complimented him on the simplicity and flexibility of the V5 GUI and I believe he was exploring creating such a front end GUI for V4.
I think I have all that roughly right, hopefully the, CocnutAir (Alan), will pick up on this thread and chime in.

Re: Fs2Phidgets & IRS Panel
With Achilles' great help and programming skills and after almost 5 hours online with Skype, we managed yesterday night to read the information from iFly IRS and display it to Phidgets LCD Display. There is one minor issue to resolve it next days (a blank digit to remove), but is working now and it was too late to wotk on it . FIXED already by Achilles, so re-download latest version !! Thank you Achilles
One problem remains and propably has to do with Fs2Phidgets s/w, or is my mistake in the way i setup the value and format, as i don't know how to setup the different Fs2Phidgets parameters.
The offset we want to send at the LCD is 20 characters length, but some times the first 2 characters are blanks. Fs2Phidgets ignores the first blanks and move the remaining characters to the left. If we send to display any character in first position, all other blank characters are normally hide.
So we have to display a dot or something similar as first character, to keep the 2nd blank and display the remaining from the 3rd position of display.
Please check these 2 examples: Attachment 6408Attachment 6409
The question is: how can i read only one offset and send 20 characters to LCD, some times the 20-characters text has the first 2 characters blank and other times non-blank? In example the POS information with IRS starts with N or S and is non-blank but other times the IRS information starts with 2 blank characters like winds info.
regards
Eddie
