Ok, that's much much better. Gauge is now a little behind ie: in 180 degrees on the screen, gauge will move 150 deg.
Also, when the needle gets to the bottom (relative bearing data goes from 1222 to 0, or the val goes from +32765 to -32765, the needle does a full 360 deg turn plus another 30degress.
Seems like it's getting close.
Ok edit that line to that.
ADF1RelDataIn = val + 32765;
That was the reason why i ask you to fly a lot of 360th. I expected that error.Quote:

We need something like a counter that count how many full cirrcles the Data input turn. With that we can add full circle steps to the output.
That is a good homework for us.

Is this the number to edit and play around with until the ratio is correct?Quote:

Ok, so this is what I need to change: static int ADF1RelNeedleStep = 1150;?
That is the nummber of Steps for a full 360.
I will do some calculations tomorrow to work out a little more accurately the number of steps.
Just another thing, in the FSUIPC SDK the offset I'm using states this:
relative bearing to NDB ( *360/65536 for degrees, –ve
left, +ve right)
so if I divide 65536 by 2 would be 32768. Should this be the number in this line: ADF1RelDataIn = val + 32765;
maybe, you write that the values are -32765 to 32765.
Hey guys
Ok i put a new 8535 in and flashed fine, set bits and BO no problems. BUT - during a flight same issue but this time it was VS and CRS that stopped working.
Do you know if the new DLL would fix these problems? When will it be released?
I have 11 IO Boards working, there is no error.
David and i have the new DLL for testing.
Official it will release after the 20.Feb.2011.
Stefan
This is very strange. I can't think of something that is doing this. Could it be the setup of my serial port? or W7? or something affecting it?
I am lost.
Hi Sean,
I only have two IO boards working faultlessly. I did have the issue of resets on the board, but changed the fuse bits as you have done, and I have not had a problem since. I use many rotary encoders without problems.
If it has only just started doing this, the board may have developed a cracked track if it has been moved a lot, or bent or twisted a bit.
Looks like some detective work, but there will definately be a fault somewhere, perhaps even a dry solder joint. My next step would be to pull the board out, grab your multimeter and start testing. Maybe even put the board under a little pressure so if there is a crack it would be easier to pick up with the meter.
Just my thoughts.
David
How would I write it that way in the code?Quote:

Had any thoughts on this one?Quote:

i have some ideas, but not the time to code that.
Also i don´t know the effect if you enter a new frequenz.
Happy to wait until you have time Stefan. I just appreciate the time you are giving.
Hehe, new Idea, try it self. :lol:
Here is my Idea.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_B...-13-39_517.jpg
have fun,
Stefan
As info Version 3 is released.
download
Have fun and read the manual for the changes!!
Thanks Stefan. Anythig new that would be good to take special note of?Quote:

Hi Stefan,
Has Dirk made any changes to the version I have as a final release?
Thanks
David
Yes but only Bug fixes.
So I should I download the version from the website and replace the test V3.
Thanks
that´s right.
Hi Stefan,Quote:

David
that is so easy.
The Problem isn´t the Programming, it is normal mathamatics.
You need to find the right formula, use pen and paper and calculate situations/movings. The very last stepp is to translate that in C++.
dist1-3 are normal int.
//dist3
if (ADF1RelDataSave > 32768 )
{
dist3 = 65536 - ADF1RelDataSave;
}
else
{
dist3 == ADF1RelDataSave;
}
//dist2
if (ADF1RelDataIn > 32768 )
{
dist2 = 65536 - ADF1RelDataIn;
}
else
{
dist2 == ADF1RelDataIn;
}
//dist1
if (ADF1RelDataDif > 0)
{
dist1 == ADF1RelDataDif;
}
else
{
dist1 = ADF1RelDataSave - ADF1RelDataIn;
}
So for example if dist2 and dist3 are say 30 degrees either side of zero, work out how many steps are in that 30 degrees, or what the val data would be at that 30 degree point.
First degree´s are not relevant only the fsuipc input data!! 0-65536
The Problem is that the Stepper can turn to right and left without a limit.
But the data has only one turn.
Now you need a calculation the how may´s turn that is.
If you don´t do that the needle goes from 60000 to 10000 in the left way but the rightway is the shortest and the real one.
Now find the formula to check the shortest way and if nesessary add or subtrackt a full circle from the stepper output.
Sample: 1500 data in in the 4 turn, go to 55000 in the 3 turn, what is the stepper output.
try to find the formular.
I've just been sitting here reading what you just wrote, then looking at the piece of code you have written, then re-reading what you have just written. I think my head is hurting:)
So I understand that we are working with the val output of the offset.
I have no idea where to begin to work a formula out like that. I understand the principle of what needs to be achieved, but really no idea.
You mentioned before about a counter to count the number of 360 deg revolutions. From what you have just said, this still needs to be in the code in order to go from 1500 data in in the 4 turn, go to 55000 in the 3 turn.
try that!!! Completly new Idea from a friend and me.
Code:static int ADF1RelDataIn;
static int ADF1RelDataSave;
static int ADF1RelDataDif;
static int ADF1RelNeedlegoto;
static int ADF1RelNeedleSave;
static int ADF1RelNeedleDif;
static int ADF1RelNeedleDeg = 65536;
float ADF1RelNeedleMulti;
static int ADF1RelNeedleStep = 1150;
case FS_ADF1RELATIVEBEARING:
printf("Data in: %d\n",val);
ADF1RelNeedleMulti = ADF1RelNeedleDeg/ADF1RelNeedleStep;
if (ADF1RelDataSave < ADF1RelDataIn)
{
ADF1RelDataDif = ADF1RelDataIn - ADF1RelDataSave;
if (ADF1RelDataDif > ADF1RelNeedleDeg/2)
ADF1RelDataDif = ADF1RelDataDif - ADF1RelNeedleDeg;
}
else
{
ADF1RelDataDif = (ADF1RelDataSave - ADF1RelDataIn) * -1;
if (ADF1RelDataDif > ADF1RelNeedleDeg/2)
ADF1RelDataDif = ADF1RelNeedleDeg - ADF1RelDataDif;
}
ADF1RelNeedleDif = ADF1RelDataDif / ADF1RelNeedleMulti;
ADF1RelNeedlegoto = ADF1RelNeedleSave + ADF1RelNeedleDif;
FsbusWriteFmtVar(29,80,ADF1RelNeedlegoto);
ADF1RelNeedleSave = ADF1RelNeedlegoto;
ADF1RelDataSave = ADF1RelDataIn;
break;
Fantastic Stefan, I will give it a try this evening when I get home from work.
Thanks
David
Hi Stefan,
I have had a chance to try the new code, I am getting no needle movement at all.
Using the printf function, the Data In is reading exactly the same the the ADF1RelNeedlegoto.
So the data is going from -32 odd thousand to + 32 od thousand.
Here's a copy and paste:
running ...Data in: -32366
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: -32366
ADF1RelNeedleDif: -32366
press any key to exit ...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
David
Oh, I'm also getting this error message:
warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'int' to 'float',
for these lines:
ADF1RelNeedleMulti = ADF1RelNeedleDeg/ADF1RelNeedleStep;
ADF1RelNeedleDif = ADF1RelDataDif / ADF1RelNeedleMulti;
That is not an error only warning, for me at the moment it isn´t interessting.Quote:

But look to a tutorial about Type Casting / Explicit conversion.
That is not possible, show your print funktions.Quote:

Did you fly the aircraft and how run the needle?

Sorry, I did mean warning.

OMG!!!!
First how turn the needle if you fly?
Second learn the printf function thet is wrong what you do.
Needle does not move at all.
Opps, I see the error of my ways:)
Have corrected printf function and I'll try it again and report back.
David
Ok, these are the outputs:
Data in: -10972
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10903
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10844
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10906
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10868
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10834
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10950
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Data in: -10956
ADF1RelNeedlegoto: 0
ADF1RelNeedleDif: 0
Just so I'm accurate, this is how I have the printf:
printf("ADF1RelNeedlegoto: %d\n",ADF1RelNeedlegoto);
Ok.
Fly for a positive Data in val.
and gereate a printf for ADF1RelDataDif.
Next try.
please fly 1x 360 left and 1x 360 right and report the datalog.Code:static int ADF1RelDataIn;
