Progamming help with FSBus dll

[sgaert]

Hello,

I need to set 7 segments display value to show dash lines "---".

How to set it in Fsbus?

Hi,

you have to use DISPLAY_BAR as value in the FsbusWrite call.

Sample:
FsbusWrite (IASDisplay, DISPLAY_BAR);

Well it works! How to set the other special characters like S, t, d, E? And how to set a single dash, like "-1000".

Thanks for your help!

Single Characters are very compilcated.
You have DISPLAY_STD or DISPLAY_Std that writes all 3 characters.
For -1000 send the value -1000.

Hi Everyone
I need some help with programming fsbus dll. I'm trying to programming master caution button, master fire warn button and sixpack in fsbus dll, but I can't find fsuipc offsets for this. Did anyone can help me find it? Or maybe someone write program for sixpack and could share it with me?

Hello, How to read RID for LED's ? On I/O Board? 0-63 are buttons that i can check button RIDs in FSBUS Admin... How about Output and LEDs?

[michaelra]

Hi all,>>
I'm new to this. I have made a FSBUS COM board and the Display board (six pack) and they work fine with FSBUS Admin. But I don’t know where to go from here. I was wondering if someone can give me the C++ code and instructions on how to make the Six Pack Display show what I see in Flight Sim MCP displays. Such as the set air speed, course, vertical speed, altitude. Any info will greatly appreciated.>>

hi Michaelra

I use the FSBUS CDK

I have to say I am useless at it but got my MCP working with the default 737's
I still am struggling getting the button anunciators working with my Ifly 737

You are welcome to the CDK files I have

Most came from Job Van Dijk and I simply altered the values to suit the CID's ect
Its a MASSIVE learning curve if you don't have programming skill ( I dont!!)

Hi wozinakair

I am struggling with that too. (at least in the ifly 737) for the default aircraft. the offsets (addresses) can be monitored in FS Interrogate. ...

The theory being....see which address changes when the led on screen lights and use that address in your ini file for the airplane (in my case its b737ng_glareshield.ini assuming you are using the CDK)
here's a bit of the file I mean. (again this is not my work Rob Van Djik gets all the credit ....check his site out)

you are intersted in the entries "DOUT" (digital out)

but the offsets dont match the format with the ifly planes....I think its probably the different programming languages involved.......probably wrong on that .




or have I miss understood your question?

Hi John,

It would be great to have your CDK. Can you send it or how can I get it?
Some instruction on what I'm supposed to do with them would be much appriciated.

Hi Michael
Not sure if my answer posted correctly so here's another go

I might add here:- I only work with the 737 whether its the same for all aircraft I have no idea.

If you let me have you email Addy via a private message we can sort out getting the cdk and stuff to you.

As for telling you how to do it I can only give you the VERY basics as I am at a loss..I have the manual but they might as well be written in latin I have no programmer DNA in me..

Although the displays seemed quite straightforward (well they were for me cos they are working LOL)

I am sure we will get there especially if we can get a few more FSBUS users/newbies on board!!!

I have just finished building myself a 737 TQ not had a chance to start connecting it as my PC died the same day ...awaiting parts for the new machine as I type.

I thought this hobby was supposed to be fun
