Danke für die Übersetzung ! Frage: Welche Folder/Dateien sollte ich sichern wenn ich meine Joystick- und MonitorProfile "rüberretten" will. Kann man parallel installieren ?! Sollte nun auch der MP wieder funktionieren oder ist das eine andere Baustelle ? Wird 1.2.0 und 1.2.1 kompatibel sein falls der MP mal wieder funktionieren wird ? Gruss Tom

Thank you again !!! You are very helpfull !! I am so happy that I found some guys with good experience in Helios setup ! Will try it on sunday ! But I see .. you guys are familiar with this LUA scripts, right ?! For me is Helios hard work, for my little experiment with the yaw trim and the other light cot me around 2 hours of my live. For any reason, Helios is for me not easy learnable .. maybe not the right background. But I am very happy that there is something like helios out !! Great work from Gadroc. I have an overlay in Helios for F1-F10 and Quit, Enter, etc but have no luck with adding RALT+TAB for tabbing in the game. For a fisrt VHF radio I will order the leobodnar BBI-32 . Question here .. will the encoders fit on the panel for channel selectors or should I look arounf for smaller encoders ? Thanks again Tom

Hi brydling .... I would be also interested in an other board for self assembliing. Does it come with all parts, just to solder them ? On this order we can also try an other ROM for my old board. I guess you will need 2 boards for all switches. Encoders mightbe used with an other board http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BBI-32/ I think brydlings very perfect board will not support this and there is a need for the radios or you need many more from brydlings boards to connect every channel selector as one button. I will have a secon board to connect right side and left side with only one usb-cable to the usb-hub in the middle part. Maybe a third board for the middlepart with UFC. This combined with deathmans knobs (waiting for them) and panels from linden should give a very good start for a pit. Also needet is a led-board from phidgets. Watch deathmans cockpitbuild and you will see a very complex , perfect mil. specs pit ! Tom

Me again :music_whistling: .. long time no see :) Yesterday I tried to switch the working "formations light" to "Yaw Trim". Bad luck .. the poti will only move the right side from middle to bottom but not the full way. Okay .. I thought, maybe too stupid and I connected the "Console lightning" to the poto and it worked well .. is there something different on the "Yaw Trim " ? Will buy the BBI32 next week. Are the used encoders also from their website ? Would also love to build a working radio expect the channelnumbers. So you write I have to hook it directly to DCS, ni Helios support I guess ?! Cheers Tom

Very nice !! Subscribed ;):thumbup:

Very cool !! :thumbup:

Sure .... but need some days due to work. Next week I have some hours for my pit and a test. Cheers Tom

Wow .. very nice ! Tak for hjaelp ! Thanks for the information, will also try my luck with this card (after my 3. and 4. monitor arrived :pilotfly:). Your work is very very nice !! Looks perfect just missing the first layer. Looking forward to see more .... Cheers and hilsen Tom

@DrpShpPlt: Thanks for the information, nice to know that there is a slider free. @HMA: What is an encoder ? I think the hardest thing will become the radios with the wheels. So far I will have all panels needet for normal flying as hardware in combination with the touchscreen and LOZ layout. I have some really lasered, good panels, waiting for more to come from user linden. The others are just stickers on a thin wood ... looks not so fancy but it works. The rel ugliest thing on the pit is my "art of flying". But I like also to work on the pit :)

Yihaaa !! Thank you for your time ! After Stefan´s post I tryed to bind the TM Throttle "INCREASE/DECREASE" with the formation light and it worked directly in Helios and the sim. Switched this over to the poti .... here we go !! Also thanks again to HMA for your nice support ! But now I have a problem and a question: Problem .. on the B256A13 are not enough potis for all panels :) Question ... what is on the TM throttle the INC/DEC slider for ?! I ched the optionsmenu in A-10 but there is no binding for this slider ... am I wrong ?! Cheers Tom ... if my poormans panels are all working I will introduce my little pit ;)

@Dropship Pilot: For sure I wrote only "return TriggerValue/65536", it was just to show in the thread that I changed to LUA. Thanks for your idea ! But .. I think on the TM Warthog are only switches and axis. There are no potis. I tried in the A-10 setup to give a function directly to the joystick but in A-10 are no potios to use, only axis. So therefor I have to use Helios as a "command interpreter" @HMA: Did it work for any input with a poti for you ? I would like to "rebuild" your setting ! Which kind of poti do you use ? Your post is the best "show me the way" so far for me.

Now I am completely confused .... I tried first what Gadroc told me: Changed in the setting "Export/Joy1/slider0" to "LUA: return TriggerValue/65536". The result was in the sim nothing happened to the lifgts but on the lightpanel in sim and also in Helios the know was flattering wild. Than I added to the "Monitor/Input/Lightpanel/knob for formationlight/LUA= return TriggerValue/65536" as HMA described so good. Same effect ... knob not working, flattering wild. Than I deleted the "Export/Joy1/slider0" to "LUA: return TriggerValue/65536" value but did not touch the "Monitor/Input/Lightpanel/knob for formationlight/LUA= return TriggerValue/65536" Same result .... Where is my fault ? Maybe the poti is not the correct one with 10K / Ohm ?! If the knob in sim/Helios not react is okay to me, but the function should be there. :cry: Hjaelp ....

Thank you both ! Will try it in the evening !

I am still in trouble with Helios and a potiometer :( Under Helios I have 2 joysticks emulated by B256A13. I use in Helios so far only joystick 1. Connected to joy1 are several switches a 1 potiometer. The potiometer is assigned as "slider0". I can use and see slider0 as a axis and it reacts. How to bind it now to f.eks. formation light ?! I tried all possibilities but did not get it to work .....

Yes .. the potiometer is working in helios configurator but I can not bind it ... Will start a new thread for this problem .. maybe a Helios-User might help. So the " slider0" is working well but the binding will not work ... Cheers Tom

Hi Ho to sweden .... Yes, will see ... Maybe I will get an other controller from you to devide my panels in 2 sides of the simpit with one controller on each side and only one USB cable to the main unit. Then we can make that with the chips. I understood your manual so far that I have now 6 panels up and working. I have in mind 2 switches which must be off while booting the pc due to the bootloader-error. I have also a phidgets board up and running for my causion panel, landing gear, T/O trim and warning light on UFC. TFS3 is also up and running. So far no problems. I am only to stupid to connect potetiometer to your board. I tried one poti but it is not moving the knob in the sim, only a flattering. In helios editor and the win joystickcontroller overview it works well. Do you have an ides ? Cheers Tom Last pics will be found here: http://bilder.einzelart.de/thumbnails.php?album=74&page=9

Thanks for the information ! No, I understood with the pushbutton but while soldering have to remember not to use the 5. row due, not the first 4 commons and the 4. row from top only with pushbuttons ... and watch out for the POV-Switches :) Cheers Tom

Lucky me :music_whistling: ... yes, I have board #022 with the bootloader bug. Can you make me a special price on an later vevision of the board ? So I have to watch out for the "bootloader bug" , watch out not to use the first pins on each plug. This becomes uncomfortable while adding panels to the whole pcb. So far I use 3 slots .. more to come :) Other topic: Do you have an idea how to control a step motor for a working flaps gauge ? Cheers and thanks again ... Tom

Me again .... after adding a third panel the B256A13 shows no more up as two joysticks ... now its only a USB-device "B256A13 bootloader" which will not show up in Helios :cry: I plugged it in different USB ports ... it is detected as the bootloader-device. Will reflash it again ... so there is something strange with the board. It worked for several weeks, suddenly it stops ... Any idea ?? Cheers Tom Edit: After reflashing working well ... maybe I need a script reflashing the unit every time before use ;-)

:thumbup:

Okay ... looking forward for the knobs and the panels !!!

Also wir haben die Tage eine Runde zusammen gedreht mittels HAMACHI, das ist wohl ein LAN-Emulator über Internet. Lief stabil. Vielleicht eine Alternative zum crashigen MP. In den MP gehe ich erst garnicht mehr ... 10 Minuten die Kiste starten und nach 2 Minuten Flug crasht eh alles. Macht keinen Spaß mehr. Naja, Hauptsache das neue Add-On lässt die Kasse klingeln. :music_whistling:

No one ? No idea ?

Great work !!!

Badger .... maybe you are right, too bad that you are not an softwaredeveloper at ED with your opinion .... I am just guessing the reason why we are waiting so long for an working multiplayer. Same is with some folks running win 32bit ... they have problems to install the game out of the box ..... This is only my opinion on the topic .... btw I am also an online-nerd. For good I didnt try it the last 3 days, I would be pissed like the whole weeks before.
