pmSystems and PhidgetsLED64

Hi Bob,

I donot use FS2Phidgets.

pmSystems is fully Phidgets supported.

How did you programm the Phidgets.txt file ?

Oh!!! Ok hold on going to look now... Be back in a few on this!!

Tony posted on FS2Phidgets forum out of desperation.
Had posted on PM and some other sites.
I have promised him, that no matter what, I will walk beside him until he has satisfaction.

I have requested assistance from Thomas Richter.
100% certain he has solution.
For pmSystems I do not use FS2Phidgets. Kinda pointless.

Ok here is how mine is programed. I will use an example from my Phidgets.txt file in PMSystems:

10885 LE59 cowlvalve1 15 3

The 3 here is the brigtnes. Add this little number and bingo, should work.

Let me know.....

Great Bob ! Works !

I wonder if one can adjust the "travelling" time and the brightness.
Are there any fixed values that you know of or is it a question of trial and error.

Yes to both questions. Change the 3 I think between 1-5 or 1-10 and that will change the brightness. Shoot a message to Thomas at support@projectmagenta.com and he can tell you how to adjust the travel time. That is in the pmsystems txt file I think...

Thanks for your help.
Making some progress here

Kind regards
Tony

Also works well on my system.

There is more to Bob than just a handsome face.

I recall the 3 is an indexed brightness as per the the first few examples lines in phidget.txt

What does the 15 represent ?

This is the header of a Phidgets card, as shown in the Phidgets.txt file. Every card (different number) connected to the computer shows in the txt file that way.
As you can see there is quite a differance in values .

Bob has managed to get it working with "15 3" whereby 3 is the intensity and we are still in doubt as to what 15 means.

I am testing different values now.
