simmeters
Hi,
to maybe bring a bit light in the CAN jungle. The CAN bus is something everyone uses everyday in his car. Its a bus system that is based on a special protocol the CAN Protocol. In this protocol the window opened switch is no longer connected direct to the motor but to the can box that sends the data to move the motor. And the motor itself has a CAN as well listening only on the window switch.
As I did a longer email conversation with simmeters the CAN system they used is based on CAN Aerospace and ATA Chapters and is a Plug and play system. So all the panels in Can version are equipped with one PCB The PCB holds the firmware a so called LRU (PCB) the LRU communicates with the master Controller and this is the only device that needs to be linked to your computer via USB. All the panels and gauges are daisy chained and get there information from the bus. No more programming needed. The lua script is implemented in the workspace software. And all data that is possible to be exported from DCS via the LUA script is implemented.
by meaning of hardware. the panels include 5V green backlighting and are DZUS MIL compatible.
As far as I understood the products result of 2 customer projects as initial.
regards Jürgen
