Progamming help with FSBus dll

[sgaert]

sorry i forgot to answer.
I talked to Dirk, but only on the street not with my hardware, two day´s ago i wrote him a Mail.
But no answer, i wait. I heard that DLL V3 will be released soon.

Fsweekend was ok, but not realy new hardware, i buyed a Prototyp FMC frame(panel) from Simparts. Frame, Keys with PCB and backlight only, tonight i will publish a Picture. But i used a OC KeyCard to connect them, it is easier then a IO Card.

Thanks Stefan.

Hmmm V3. That sounds exciting. I remember when I heard the rumour about v2. Fingers crossed it won't be too long.

It would have been great to come to FSWeekend (way too far). We had a Flight Sim expo here on the Gold Coast a few years ago. It was smallish but lots of good stuff to look at and buy.

Cheers,
David

That is the FMC.

[RobiD]

Wow, that looks great.

Do you mind if I ask how much it cost?

[sgaert]

You got a PM.

[RobiD]

Sounds like a good deal. (had to convert euro to AUD)

It's quite a complex piece to make yourself.

David

[sgaert]

Yes, you can´t create that quality by your self.
It is only one piece, no different layers.
Tonight i mail you some detail pictures.

[RobiD]

Look forward to seeing them.

Thanks

Does anyone out there have any examples of this programming stuff? I have completed buiding an Engine Oil gauge using servos that will be put into a Bell 206 panel. The gauge contains 2 servos, one for the pressure on the left of the gauge and one for the temp on the right of the gauge. It works fine in the fsbus setup. I am having a really hard time 'wrapping my head' around the programming. Stefan has been extremely generous in his help getting the files set up. If someone can come up with an example of making a servo work through all of this, it would be appreciated. I get confused when it comes to when I need to have a .cpp file, a .h file and so on. Is there a set way of doing all of this so it makes sense? What I mean is....if I want to make an engoilpress object, what needs to be put in what file to make it work? Please help, I know I am old, but I have a few brain cells left, and hopefully this stuff can be beaten into me. I do see some examples in in this thread, but I can not get them printed out so that they are useful to me. So, something that I can print out and look at while I am working on mine would be of great help.

Hey Milt,

With the help of Stefan, I got to understand the use of the calibrate function to drive servos. Once you understand how to modify it, you can vary it to suit any servo based gauge. I use the calibrate function to drive ASI, VSI, Glideslope indicator (vertical and horizontal), Tacho, Pitch and Bank for the atitude indicator, Turn and slip indicator.

I have to get the sample code from my other computer so I'll try and post some info over the weekend.
