    Mizzy,

    Do you have latest Phidgets.msi ?
    You can read that off screen.

    Regards,
    Alan.

    Exclamation 0/16/16

    Hi,
    I think I have a Problem like yours.
    If I run FSPhidgets 2.1.1 or older with msi 206 the 0/16/16 card will work only short time ( 1-2 min.) then I get the massage: program is busy and stops working.
    I find out if I disconnect the 0/16/16 while program is busy, program working goes on. But if I reconnect 0/16/16 it didn't recognise. I have to restart FSPhidgets and then it works the way before.
    What is wrong. I tried with new instasllation of XP pro SP1, then XP pro SP2 and WIJN 2000 pro. All the same problem.
    I tried also with PMSystems (integraded msi 206) without installation of FSPhidgets and MSI, but the same, program get busy and stops working.
    Please Help.

    Thomas

    v 3.08 doesn't work for me

    Hi All
    I got the runtime 5 error on the previous version so I was really glad that 3.08 had been released. Now, the app opens up fine when my 8/8/8 card is connected.
    I now face the following new problems:
    1) It doesn't always detect that FSUIPC is running (the old version was fine with this)
    2) When I click the "connect to phidgets card" buttton, it comes up with a ...wait for this.."catastrophic error" (Nice touch alan! )

    Ok, I need help please. This still isn't working for me :confused:

    Thanks
    Jono

    hang on, I just tried the "connect to phidget card" button again (for the 20'th time) and this time it has worked! Cool! Only thing is that it hasn't detected my fsuipc running :confused:

    im still experiencing problems.

    * With the older 2.x version i get a runtime "5" error.

    * The new 3.08 version still breaks off the installation on my computer at the
    file 7/7 point.

    I tried to find the problem in the bootstrap section and found the next thing:

    when i delete the next entry int the "bootstrap files" section of the "setup.lst", the installer will continue installing.

    "File5=@olepro32.dll,$(WinSysPathSysFile),$(DLLSelfRegister),,8/4/04 2:00:00 PM,83456,5.1.2600.2180"

    After done this, FS2phidgets will run, it will connect my phidgets LEDS card, it will connect to flight simulator.

    What it doesnt do though is recognize my 0/16/16 cards.....

    So i am puzzled here.....it does see my ledcard, but not my input/output card.

    I will try and update my Vbasic files to see if that solves anything.

    i'm quite frustrated about this ...anyone any ideas ?

    Phidgets20.dll = ver. 1.03
    Phidget.com library = 2.06
    Installation package is 3.08
    FS2004
    WinXP SP1
    FSUIPC 3.22 (allthough i dont think its an FSUIPC problem)

    best regards,

    Stef

    To add to that:

    Phidget Monitor (from the examples folder) does recognize my 0/16/16 card ! Its just FS2Phidgets thatt doesnt.

    Same with the interfacekit-16_16.exe from the examples.zip: it does recognize the 16/16 card and nicely lights up the leds of the outputs....so its not defective hardware or communication of the phidgets drivers. The problem seems to be within FS2phidgets.

    Update:

    I've updated my FScomputer to XP SP2, this solves the installing problem. Both 3.07 and 3.08 install now, without getting stuck in the "cant update loop"

    This doesnt solve my problems though:

    FS2Phidgets 2.x :
    Runtime "5" error

    FS2Phidgets 3.07 and 3.08:
    LEDboard is recognized, 0/16/16 boards are not.
    When the 0/16/16 board is connected a "unattached" tab shows up, but you cant change anything in it. it does not represent the in and outputs of the board en you can not add offsets. When the 0/16/16 board is disconnected the "unattached" tab greys out.

    Still receive some errors. When i have both a LEDboard and a 0/16/16 board attached and i disconnect the 0/16/16 board i get the following error:

    " Runtime error "340" Control array element "1" doesnt exist "

    When i have both LEDboard and 0/16/16 hooked on and i go to the "Unattached" tab i get the next error:

    "Runtime error "9" Subscript out of range"


    Is there anyone out there that has the 0/16/16 boards working with the phidgets in any way ? If so, could you please tell me what combination of FS2phidgets, phidgets.msi, FSUIPC, XP and FS you are using ?

    I have tried this on 3 computers now. All 3 running Win XP pro, SP2 and all give the same errors.

    All this renders my boards completely useless and i have to admit im quite frustrated by now

    I switched from IOcards to Phidgets because of the ease of use with PMsystems, but right now im pulling my hair by the time im bald i switch back to IOcards

    Help

    Best regards,

    Stef

    Jono,

    This version works a little differently.
    You need to click om "Connect to FS: button.

    This was mentioned on this forum and is in the updated documentation.

    Regards,
    Alan.

    Stef (and others),

    I have identified problem with non-recognition of 0/16/16.

    We have a volunteer (kind soul shall remain annonymous for now) testing 3.0.9 which addresses most of the problems idetified to date.

    Regards,
    Alan.

    Alan,

    Thanks for the fast reply !

    Look forward to see the new version. Cant wait

    I'd love to really start wiring my overhead with the phidgets. The ease of use of your software is amazing compared to that of my IOcards (which i still use for my radios and other parts of my flightdeck), but for that i will need working 0/16/16's

    If you need another volunteer <raises hand>

    Stef
