Hi all,
I'm new here, but not at all new to the flightsim world (though fairly new to the home cockpit thing, a steep learning curve for sure). I recently took over the tech lead for a sort of half baked sim project. I mean, the thing is flying, but there are still issues to be ironed out and functionalities to be implemented (the whole TQ motorization, it's a 737, is probably the biggest project ahead).
Right now I'm looking into how I can control RC servos to use for the stab trim and speed brake handle (and later on the throttle leavers and trim wheels). I would really like to use PoKeys boards exclusively. They an do so many things AND they connect over ethernet, which is a big selling point as I want to avoid USB at all costs (figuratively). But unfortunately ProSim, our Avionics suite of choice, does not support that (which I find a shame, but the programmers couldn't be bothered to implement that, even though there have been multiple requests for this feature in the ProSim forum). Is there a way at all to control a servo through a PoKeys board? I know that the board itself supports it, I have tested that and I can control it through the PoKeys controller software. But how can I send commands from P3D or ProSim to the servos through a PoKeys card?
Any pointer are much appreciated.
Cheers,
AJ
