HI all :

I am new to this forum and recently obtained a simparts TQ which comes with
two phidgets cards 8/8/8 and 0/0/4 and servo/motor card. Let me tell you,
Jorg Weinmann has done a great job. Beautiful unit. Mine came fully assembled.

I have tried to use version 4.3 of FS2Phidget without success. These are
new cards. I heve experienced the same problems several of you have. The
cards cannot be accessed, they all show red.

I have used a Windows XP SV2, new installation from scratch , with ONLY
2.1 MSA libraries and only FS2Phigets v.4.3. Still same problem. So definetly
not an interference with MSI 2.0 libraries since they were not installed

When installed version 4.29 and MSI 2.0 libraries, everything works fine,
but I cannot calibrate the flaps handle withv 4.29. At one point like if some sort of a miracle4.3 worked the it stopped. Do any of you guys ahve any update on this.

Has Alan looked at the problem?. Could it be the new cards?

Maybe recompiling again?

How about other people looking at the source code and pitching in, sort like
an open project thing?. Unfortunately I have no experience in coding for the Windows plataform but UNIX

Just my two cents.

Alan owns the code and its up to him if he wants to share it or not.

Same to me.
I also have the Simparts TQ with the two phidgets cards 8/8/8 and 0/0/4 and servo/motor card.
With FS2Phidgets 4.3 and msi 21 no go!
The cards cannot be accessed, they all show red.
With 4.2.9 and msi 20 all is working fine.

It is some consolation that I'm not alone in this predicament . Nevertheles
here are my current problems with this magnificent TQ.

I cannot calibrate the flap handles properly. with FS2Phidgets v4.13. That's the only one I have that has the flap handle checkbox. Flaps go to flaps1 position and stay there. I use PMDG 737-700 with it's panels uninstalled. Do any of you know which version works properly??.

Second problem, the offset that works for the AT servo relais to power them and make them active, ((050A) in the 0/0/4 interface through either SImparts.ini or pmMCP.ini) , however I am unable to unpower them for normal operation. I have used A/T-disconnet , A/T-disengage etc. It shows on the GC that the AT is off but the servos remain powered!!!. Any hints?

I am sure Alan owns the code since he wrote it . I just popped the idea because
it has worked well in other projects.

Cheers.

Hey guys did you manage to solve the probs with 4.3 and the phidget 21msi.

I am too still not having too much luck with the new version, on one occasion or two it is recognising my 8/8/8 as a 16/16/16 then a 32/32/32 then a 40/40/40. i got no idea whats going on with the new version.

Alan any insights as too what may be the problem with the new version ???

[AndyT]

At this point, I'm sort of waiting on Alan. I have some other issues that are absorbing the vast majority of my time right now so I have not been able to do much of anything flying related. Sorry.

I have offered to help Alan with the source code but I have not written anysoftware in some time. (I used to be a programmer.) It is up to Alan if he wants the help. I know I used to be pretty secretive with my source code so I'm not going to push him either way.

Tried the following on a laptop that had never seen flight sim or fs2phidget.

Has Windows XP SP2. Did not install MS-FS

I downloaded latest phidget.msi from www.phidgets.com
Downloaded fs2phidget 4.3 from this web site.

When I ran fs2phidget the Phidget Library was green.
Noticed that version of Phidget Library on laptop was built Nov 2007.
Version my sim and development system was built June 21 2007

I am performing some experiments to see if problem is due to different versions of Phidget.msi

If it is, I will have to make decision: either load latest version and possibly re-code, or distribute Fs2Phidget with compatible version of Phidget.msi

Regards,
Alan.
