Overhead with InterFaceIt

[brianwilliamson]

Jon Luc, I have found a major problem with the InterfaceIt overhead.

I am unable to start the APU on my InterFaceIt overhead, but can start ok with the graphic overhead and the IIT one turned off.

Have checked the switches out all ok.

Here is a log of the startup:

Looks like the interfaceITAPI.dll maybe the trouble.


Will have another look tomorrow and if you have any suggestions where I maybe able to fix it, please let me know.



Many thanks.............Brian W.

Hi Brian,

The interfaceit.dll being not valid is normal.
How did you assign the switch? can you put a screen shot?
Did you try other switches?

Regards,
JL

Gooday JL, Have tested all the switches and as far as I can tell all working ok on the overhead, but may need to go and do the whole overhead, as new, to make sure.

Here is a pic of the Master switch assignment

Perhaps I can ask if there is anyone else using Interfaceit with their overhead switches on V46 with P3D V3 that is finding that it works ok.

Then I know that I will need to re-assign the switches on my card.

Many Thanks................Brian W

Looks good...
Can you describe the exact behavior? You say you can't start the Apu, but what part is not working exactly?
Also try to turn the logging on for the inputs in hardware connect then press the master button to see what happens.

I use the FDS Sys Interfaceboard and P3D v. 3.4 too. I have no problem to start the APU.
You have fuel on board?
Save your settings again in the IITcreator and create a new IIT.dnt with the new FMGS Version.
Sometimes this also helps.

Thanks JL. The main problem is that the APU Master switch is not turning on, even though as you can see from the picture it is being picked up by IIT board.


So, a big thanks to Fritz which has probably given me the answer. That is, that there is something regarding the swwitches on that InterfaceIt board that is not correct, so I will need to completely re-assign all the switches.


That is such a big help when somebody has it working with a similar setup to mine, then I can hopefully fix the problem.



A big thank you both........................Brian W.

Just a quick side note before I do any drastic re-programming of the switches.
Is it normal to have the switches to do the following:

Card Type 4105
Switch Action 97
Card Type 4105
Switch Acton -9999

Another fault on new install with scan on hardware :

Jeehell_IIT cannot read MVDU1 pot

Any clues on this one ?

.............Brian W.

[jeehell]

SWs with action=-9999 try to reassign them...
MCDU Pot: not sure what you mean here? They were never assigned through IIT creator, but are automatically detected with the MCDU module?
