Progamming help with FSBus dll

[RobiD]

Rusdex,

Dirk has sent me a reply. He is on holidays at the moment but when he gets home, he has promised to look into the code to sort it out.

He did give me this bit of info that may be of help until then:
please try to send the position commands with
BOOL FsbusWriteFmtVar(int cid, int rid, int v)
> Don't use the other FsbusWrite.. commands.
The BTP_A_OUT is the right object for stepper


Hope that helps a little. Please keep us informed of how you are going with it and as soon as I hear from Dirk, I will write it up on this thread.

Regards
David

Just to keep everyone updated on the progress of the Stepper issue.

Heard from Dirk last night and he has the problem on the desk in front of him actively working on the solution.

When he has sorted it, he will email me some demo code so we can all adapt it and test it.

Thanks Dirk, greatly appreciated.

Dont' know what's going on in this thread, I've left a post as #432 regarding making contact again with Dirk and I keep getting notification of a post by shearder regarding his MCP code in this thread and when I click the link in my email to view the post, mine are missing and shearder's first post is #432 and now #433.

With a bit if fiddling around with logging out then in and coming to this thread another way, my post is now visible #432 and shearder's are not.

Very curious.

I am wondering - am i having a problem with FSBUS due to FSX? Offsets seem to be the same...

[sgaert]

i use the FSX. The most Offsets are the same.
Look to Interogate to find the difference.

Hey Stefan

Yeah i installed FS9 to test and i get the same problems. I also notice N1 hold also sets Speed hold - which still kills engine. I was going to start building my structure today but i decided against it. Think i should take up knitting LOL cos i don't have tghe time i used to have for building and the programming is going to kill me...

[sgaert]

HAHA the Speed Hold kills the engin, i know that from a freeware Fokker 50. I think that is an error in a gauge file of the Aircraft. I never fixed that.

[RobiD]

Shearder,

Looks like we are all posting in the same thread now.

I changed to FSX without any problems so I agree with Stefan.
I did have an engine killing problem when I was setting up my MCP, whenever I pressed the Autothrottle speed set button.

I will have to go through this thread to find the problem as Stefan helped me with that one too.

Update on the stepper board and code.

Dirk emailed my some test code and if needed, a replacement fsbus.dll file to use and test with.

I will spend the next couple of weeks building the board and testing the code sample without the new dll file (as Dirk requested) then if that fails, with the new dll

Let me know if anyone else is interested in doing some of this testing.

Hello David,

can you mail me the new DLL?
Than i can also do some test´s with my stepper board.
