Progamming help with FSBus dll

[RobiD]

Stefan or Trevor,

Do you guys want to take a look at this layout and tell me if I'm even close. Since I can't attach the .lay file here, I'll put a link to download it to have a look.

I'm open to any suggestions or even if you want to play around with what I have to make it better.

Hi David,

that look´s like my hand made board, with some good improvments.

Hi Stefan,

I used the pictures you posted as a rough guide on the best place to put the components, so I guess it does look like your board.

If you have had a chance to look over it, can you see anything I have connected incorrectly or have missed. (edit: found a couple of mistakes already so have changed these and uploaded the new file at the link on the previous post)

Thanks
David

Oh, have you started any programming for your board yet, and if so, can you give me a bit of an idea how to do it ie: zero point, do I use calibrate function or a code sample would be better still. Thanks

K so i have ver 4.5.2.0 of FSUIPC installed for FSX but yet FSBUS doesnt work for me for FSX... Could there be another reason on why it wont work?

And that Stepper lay LOOKS GREAT! Way better then any thing i have made on it, Good job. And is the updated file the one on post #341 ?

Hi Trevor,

Yes, I've just overwritten the old one on the server.

Hmm, I have no idea why FS9 and FSX are not interchangable with FSBus. I've used both with FSBus (Classic with FS9 but NG only with FSX).

Perhaps you could drop Dirk an email and ask him. I won't post his email here, just go to his site and send an email throught there, but make the subject something that he'll notice. I'm sure he gets lots of junk mail.

I talked to Stefan last night via Skype and he was able to fix my problem and now it works with both. Guess my ver of FSUIPC was to old and when i got the newest ver it worked just fine. Then we talked about some of my other problems in C++ and lol most of it was a fix like o well that should say "com2 not com1" lol. So yeah David you should try to talk to Stefan Via Skype. And your right he knows his stuff.

I was looking at your lay last night and noticed that R1-3 are close to each other are they SMDs? Also there are some lines that go under them 2 times when it could be cleaner and be one line. Is that made like that for a reason? Also i noticed that the 20PU has 5 pins not being used and the other one has 6 pins. Should there be 6 pins on that one as well not being used? Theres my 2 cents for now lol

Working on my Announcer panel i have noticed that the Oil Press light will come on at around 60 PSI on the B350 but on the 737-800 it turns on at around 13 PSI. So there for if i set the Oil Press light to come on for the B350 at 60 PSI on the 737-800 they will always stay on. is there a way to make this some kind of and/if so that it will work for more then one aircraft? Or do you have to pick ONE aircraft and base every thing around that.

Trevor,

I have found that you have to make a seperate .exe file for any variations. For example, my flight sim has all the analogue gauges for the cessna plus it has the 777 overhead and MCP. I can use the 777 MCP for the cessna and some of the switches in the overhead for lights etc but most of the other functions are not relevant. Then there is the ASI which requires different Calibrate arrays for it to be accurate. It is possible, but you won't have 100% accuracy for all craft.

yeah thats kinds what i was thinking of doing to fix it. Was thinking about making one for the King Air 350 and then another one for the 737-800. Also are the R1-3 on your lay for the stepper SMDs?

Thanks,
Trevor

No SMD's at all. Don't like working with them. My hands arn't that steady for that level of fine work (thank god I'm not a brain surgeon huh!)
