FSBUS Classic + NG
Hi, I am new here and few words about myself. I'm 40 years old male from Finland and I think I am not home cockpit builder. Let's say, I'm game controller builder Now I'm building KingAir style force feedback yoke with switch panel around it.
I have been using FS2004 and FSBUS Classic Com3 with 2 Key cards for appx. 3 years. Recently I bought ready made set including FSBUS NG Com and IO cards.
I have few questions:
Is it possible to get Classic and NG cards (IO, KEY and LED) work together simultaneosly? According to readme, see bellow, it is possible. How?
Can I connect both Classic Key and NG IO cards to Com card (Classic or NG)?
What is the recommended software to run mixed FSBUS system, FSBUS CDK or Router FSBUS.exe?
Readme FSBUS update, fixes and improvements 2.4.0
1. FSBUS router now supports the new hardware modules called
NG (new generation).
Except the analogue input controller, the old modules remain
compatible.
There is a new menu item "Setup - Compatibility" with 3
different modes: Classic, Classic + NG, NG.
The CID, which is specific to each board, determines if its an old
or new board.
If you select Classic + NG, please setup each CID matching the
following table:
Key Controller | IO Controller
Classic | NG
------------------------------------
4-7 | 1-15
Others Classic | Others NG
------------------------------------
16-31 | 1-15
The new IO board handles the different keytypes internally. The
configuration must be done with fsadmin.
For any IO board object, you need to define
one new fsbus object called "Digital Input".
For any IO board object, you need to define
one new fsbus object called "Digital Input

Hi Timo
Is it possible to get Classic and NG cards (IO, KEY and LED) work together simultaneosly? According to readme, see bellow, it is possible. How?
Yes it can. Set the cid according to below:
Key Controller | IO Controller
Classic | NG
------------------------------------
4-7 | 1-15
Others Classic | Others NG
------------------------------------
16-31 | 1-15
Can I connect both Classic Key and NG IO cards to Com card (Classic or NG)?
Yes, you must set this in the setup menu.
What is the recommended software to run mixed FSBUS system, FSBUS CDK or Router FSBUS.exe?
The CDK can only handle the NG boards.
Hope it helps.
Best regards

Thanks Jan for your reply!
Set the cid according to below:
Key Controller | IO Controller
Classic | NG
------------------------------------
4-7 | 1-15
Others Classic | Others NG
------------------------------------
16-31 | 1-15
Key cards have now no 4, 5 and 7
Led cards have 20 and 21
NG IO card has no 1
Are they set correct? Classic cards works fine when connected to the classic ComIII card and the NG IO card also works when connected to the NG Com card. If I connect Classic cards to the NG COM or NG IO card to the Classic COMIII card they don't work anymore. I tried to run the system with the FSBUS 2.4.3.1 router and CDK software.
Can I connect both Classic Key and NG IO cards to Com card (Classic or NG)?
Yes, you must set this in the setup menu.
The CDK can only handle the NG boards.
I am looking forward to get reply soon.
Regards
Timo

Hi
Yes the CID's are right I think.
I think the best way to handle is:
Run one COM III board with the classic boards and fsbus 2.4.....
Run the COM NG with the NG boards on a different computer with fsbus CDK.
Use widefsand fsuipc and you will see that the above setup run flawless.
