Progamming help with FSBus dll

[RobiD]

Yes, I pressed the green arrow to recompile.

Oh, I'll try the Cntl+Alt+F7

[RobiD]

Yes, that did the trick.

[shearder]

everything else still function?

@shearder because of your erasing problem. Look to the ATMEL 8535 Manual on page 39 the part about BOD.
There you see what that do and how you can enable that, i use 4V configuration.

Hey Stefan

Due to work i haven't touched my sim in almost 3 weeks. I did some tests with Davids stuff and with a bit of SLIGHT mods i have my MCP working the way it should. My next question is around the BOD for the 8535. Can this be set using Pony? Or do i need something else?

Thanks again!

Sean

You can set BOD with the Fuse in Pony.

Hey Stefan

Sorry, another question: when the 8535 is set to 4v will normal on and off of the power affect it? I assume not?

Thanks again.

[sgaert]

Everything is normal.
It only makes a reset when the Vcc is lower then 4V.
Without that it is possible that he erease the EEPROM.

Images of my newly completed Altitude indicator gauge.

Hi guys, as promised, here are a couple of images of my stepper driven altitude indicator.

Pretty happy with how it's come out.

Just have to get the code together to get it working with FSX..

Good Job.
Can you make a movie with the working gauge, inside and outside?

[RobiD]

Never done that before, but I guess I could give it a go.

I'd love to get the code working though. I tested the code Dirk gave me with the current .dll file and it did what it was supposed to.

Dirk says that according to this test, it indicates that it should work as is in FSBus.

Have no idea where to begin with the code though. I've asked Dirk if he has a sample code for the stepper and I'm just waiting to hear back.

I'll try and get some video this weekend. It will just be through either FSBus admin or through the test code that Dirk sent.

[sgaert]

ok, no problem.
On FSweekend i will talk to Dirk.
At the moment i have follows themes/topics.
- Stepper bug in the V2 DLL
- Display bug in the DLL (blank, bar,... option)

Do you or anybody have additional topics?
