AP/RST, AT/RST, FMC/RST - Offsets?

[luker22]

Thanks for your reply Alan,

I'm wating to take delivery of some new panels I've ordered which include the switches and led's for the AFDS and I will give it a try as soon as it is in my hands. I assume that circuits 1-31 are a limit imposed by the configuration utility within fs2phidgets? ...i.e if you are using a LED64 I would have assumed 0-63 would be viable choices for the circuits...

In any case this should give me enough to tinker with it and it should be come clearer when I try it again.

Thanks again Alan for your excellent support

Cheers,
Luke

Luke,

The circuit labels are not related to Phidget component numbers.
Circuits are FS2Phidget's method for associating Phidget components that need to work together.

You do raise a good issue.
There is a potential for confusion.
Maybe I should make circuit labels circuits "A", "B", "C"......"AA", "AB", etc.
Or permit user to choose a meaningful labels for circuits.
e.g. "AFDS Test 1", "AFDS Test 2", "AFDS P/RST".

Regards,
Alan.

Thanks Alan,

I understand now.

Yes, the ability to give the circuits a more meaningful label would be great and assist in trouble shooting by avoiding confusion when you have a number of circuits in use...I guess this comes from my days as a programmer...

Thanks again
Luke

Luke,

I have incoporated your suggestion into my next release.

Have a look in the Downloads section on the site.
Click on the FS2Phidget link.

There is is a download on FS2Phidget features I will be releasing in near future.
File is named FS2PhidgetsNotams.pdf

There is a section on Circuits you will find informative.

New release also has new Logic Variable functionality.
Works like regular FS Variables, but allows builder specify logical expressions.
Overview of Logic Variables is also in download.
Idea for concept came from Maurice (mauben).

Regards,
Alan.

Thanks Alan,

I've managed to download and look at the pdf covering circuits and it looks really good, clear and user friendly. The ability to use circuits and logic really gives FS2Phidgets some power.

Thankyou for your continued excellent support to the community !

Cheers,
Lucas
