Help with Phidgets64 card

[Rodney]

I run a LED64 in my annunciator panel. I have a probem with the ports "ghosting" each other...I can turn the same light on from 4 or 5 different light positions in FS2Phidgets. What you need to do is take one of those LEDs and find a different port in FS2Phidgts.

For example...The lights are plugged into number 2 and 3, just for example. you turn on port 2 and they both illuminate. you turn on port 20 and only one light illuminates. Program that light to port 20 instead of 2...same with the other light..understand? it is confusing.

If you are sure that it's not a duplicate in programming then it might be;

From Spec sheet:
Two LEDs can be attached to each four-pin connector. The four pins are in two pairs, the cathode (short lead) of each LED being connected to the left-hand pin of each pair.

Does #3 burn bright as the rest when you turn on all led's?

I would like to try and duplicate this problem when I get home. What offsets are you using for led 2 and 3 ?

I use fs9 with Phidgets 438 FSUIPC Vers?(will ck) Win xp sp2

Added a couple more leds yesterday (Stall and Overspeed) still no problems.

I used 2 led64 boards in a 737 overhead I built and I never had an issue and both boards where full. I did not however use the FS2 Phidgets software.

Thanks Bob I am glad to hear you have no problems. Since two people seem to be having identical bugs I was getting worried. I use fs3 Phidgets and really like the abilty to add offsets and logic. So far I have had no difficulty with fs9/fsuipc/FS2Phidgets.

What software do you use to control the LED64 ? I thought FS2 phidgets was the only one .

I dont have the card "fully loaded" yet but my overhead still has plenty of leds to light. At this time I use DPDT switches to change the leds from white to green and the other switch pole to activate the function via FSUIPC. This is really not the right way to see if the function is activated so I am slowly converting them to activate with the actual function via FSUIPC/Phidgets.

I will still play with this to see whats going on. Its an interesting bug.
(As long as Im not affilicted with it yet !!!!! )
