    Variables ?

    I am having some trouble assigning variables to a circuit.
    I am building an annunciator panel using the 64led card and FS2Phidget.

    One of the annunciators is autofeather armed. I looked in the MS Token variable document and found "Panel_autofeather_switch" ,, added it to the variables in FS2Phidget added a led to the circuit,, but when I arm the autofeather FS9,, nothing happens.

    It seems if I use the variables that came with FS2Phidget,, I have no problem , but it seems I am not adding variables the right way??

    Is there somewhere I can download the complete list of variables into FS2Phidget ?

    Thanks.

    Re: Variables ?

    What is the FSUIPC offset and length for the Panel_autofeather_switch?
    I take it you are using FSX.

    Re: Variables ?

    You're using FS9. Read your post more carefully.
    I looked at FSUIPC documentation.
    There are 4 offsets for autofeather_armed.
    One for each of four props
    Offsets are: 2430, 2530, 2630 and 2730.
    Guessing 8 bytes long.
    These would be set up as Digital types.

    Regards,
    Alan

    Re: Variables ?

    I'll let you know how it goes. I think I should have looked at FSUIPC instead of the Token Variable doc I got from the Fs SDK.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    The tokens are listed in FSUIPC docs.

    Re: Variables ?

    I tried those variables listed in the FSUIPC docs and I just can't seem to make it work.

    I thought it would be as easy as assigning the taxi light etc,, with a simple circuit, but I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

    I figured out the generator light, using a proportional value of N1. I must be missing some little thing with the auto feather arm switch??

    Re: Variables ?

    Spitfire9,
    Send me your fsvariable file and log file at alan@coconutair.com
    also send me the names of few token variables in FSUIPC docs you are interested in.
    This will save me wading thru fsvariable file figuring out your custom ones.
    I will have a look at how you are setting up those.

    What aircraft are you using in FS9?

    Regards,
    Alan
