4.0.1 Bitmap values

[imported_redman]

Hi Alan,
I am connecting up my 2 LED64 board to my overhead, and i come into some difficulty.
It appears that the highest bitmap value I can use is 15?
The LDS 767 with Nico's FSCONV uses bitmap values up to 30.

I have (via notepad) manually created the variable files for all the offsets, but they stil to not register when running.
Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks a lot for all your work.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Alan,

Any word on if you will be able to include this function in a future release of FS2Phidgets?

Thanks
Chris

Redman,

There was a work-around posted some time ago for this type of problem.
It does take some understanding of bits and bytes

Break a long offset of 32 bits into two smaller offsets of 16 bits each.

For example, say we have an offset:
0A02 of length 4 = 32 bits (0 - 31)

We could create two offsets:

04A2 Length 2 = 16 bits (0 to 15)
04A4 Length 2 = 16 bits (16 to 31)

Regards,
Alan.
