Warhog Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Good to see you back Tore. :) In your absence, there have been some significant upgrades to DCS-BIOS. It will require you to download the latest version as well as the Arduino library. You will then need to rewrite your sketches but the rewrite is, for the most part, extremely simple. Ian has made changes that simplify creating a sketch, it includes code for using an RS-485 bus and increases performance. See his thread for more info. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=141096 Regards John W aka WarHog. My Cockpit Build Pictures...

Hopefully I'll have some time again soon. It's a bit annoying not having time for it, as I had a quick testflight last week and discovered that I'd forgotten many of the HOTAS commands... Well, they probably come back fast when I start again :pilotfly: Hows your project coming along John? Regards, Tore - Newbie simpit builder and electronics geek -
Warhog Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Thank you John :) I've been very busy the last 6 months with my new job, so the homepit has been collecting dust for the most of the time. Hopefully I'll have some time again soon. It's a bit annoying not having time for it... Hows your project coming along John? It has slowed down considerably which has me very frustrated. I had a series of heart attacks, one in Dec., one in Jan and one in Feb and each time I had a one or two week stay in Hospital That set me back quite a bit. Things have stabilized so I,m back to work on it but it's at a slow pace. It's now getting to the point where I'm asking myself "will I ever get this finished?" I've been at this for 2 years now and it's far from complete. I think it's taking so long because I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to making stuff. I've even rebuilt 3 panels right from scratch as I wasn't happy with how I made them first time around. With all that I have learned this past year, I look at my first panels and realize they are just so poorly made that I need to make new ones. So I have redone my caution panel, Tacan, VVI and Speed indicator. I also remade parts of both VHF radios and the UHF radio. But at least now they won't start to smoke and catch fire any time soon.:music_whistling: :megalol: Sorry for the ramble. I do that a lot now that I'm a grumpy old man.:smilewink:. Good to see you back and Clay...we haven't heard much from you either. Glad to see you are still around as well. John Regards John W aka WarHog. My Cockpit Build Pictures...

0414 Wee Neal Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Hi Warhog sorry to hear you have been unwell, I hope things improve! On a cheeky note considering its not your own thread, would you be happy to share your updated details for your caution panel? I have previously used your older design but messed up the LED matrix a bit and am just starting to redo the panel; chinese parts pending?

I have previously used your older design but messed up the LED matrix a bit and am just starting to redo the panel; chinese parts pending? Regards Neal Hi Neal I didn't do much in the way of changing things on the caution panel. I kept everything except the PCB for the LED matrix. That didn't work properly. What I ended up doing was to copy Tigersharks example "to the letter" to create the matrix and then used Ians code for the rest. Actually I think Clay had Ian's code on pastebin and thats what I ended up using. Yup, I found it... http://pastebin.com/n9yUkJFx . Here's the thread with Tigersharks matrix in it. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=142202&highlight=clay It worked very well. But now I have to add the RS-485 to both the physical panel and also to the code. I'll post something on it once I have it running again. Regards John W aka WarHog. My Cockpit Build Pictures...

FSFIan Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Here is a version of that Caution Lights Panel sketch that works with the current version of the DCS-BIOS Arduino Library. DCS-BIOS | How to export CMSP, RWR, etc. through MonitorSetup.lua
ClayM Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 As I have said many times before....... Thanks Ian! Clay
Warhog Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Ian, is this the sketch that you modified for my old badly setup matrix or is this the version that matches Tigersharks matrix. PS. email on COG for you. Regards John W aka WarHog. My Cockpit Build Pictures...

simulatoregp Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 With great pleasure I watched all his work. Congratulations, all very nice. Sincere wishes of good work. We all make sacrifices, and we work hard to build . Best regard from Italy Mr Warhog.
Hansolo Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Welcome back Triise and thanks a lot for sharing your Arduino code. I am slowly getting to the point of starter my conversion into DCS-BIOS so that is highly appreciated. Likewise thanks Ian for the cuation panel code. I hope I can make heads and tails on it later :-) Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
