sharkfin61 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Reaching out to all the Arduino programmiing gods, is it possible to use "both" versions of DCS BIOS in th e game? F.e. my A-10C CDU is running perfectly with a sketch that was programmed with the "original" DCS BIOS, whereas my newly made A-10 panels should be programmed with the skunkworks fork of DCS BIOS. (FYI, I soldered my keys in a matrix array and I don't want to rip it apart again) Thank you in advance for your ideas Edited March 29 by sharkfin61 typo sharkfin out!

Vinc_Vega Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Hi Joe, This is an issue of DCS:World updates. To make it short, YES you can, but it depends on if the addresses have changed. Edit: It's another matter if you want to compile the sketches again. Then it's better to use the FP files, because Hub is not up to date. Best Regards and Happy Easter, Vinc Edited March 29 by Vinc_Vega 1 Regards, Vinc real life: Royal Bavarian Airforce online: VJS-GermanKnights.de [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkfin61 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Thanks, Vinc_Vega for your swift answer. Well, I have to check the adresses (system is dismanteld atm. New panels are prepared but not electrified or coded. (Great if you have a little spare time at work ) Happy easter as well, hope you're doing fine over there. sharkfin out!

Vinc_Vega Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Hi Joe, I did not mean the Rs458 nor bus addresses but those from the DscBios internal arguments. If they weren't changed by an update, your old panels should work. If you see strange behaviour that could be a reason. Kind regards and always a happy landing.

No1sonuk Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) AFAIK, DCS won't let you run both at once. And if it did, that's a LOT of data to be transferring twice. Input TO DCS may not be a problem between the two, though updates could break stuff. It's where you take data OUT from DCS where the addresses issue will crop up. e.g. your CDU screen lines reading code will probably fail unless you recompile it for the Fork. Having said that, you wouldn't need to rewire the hardware - just rearrange pin numbers in the code if required. Remember that the Flightpanels Fork is called a Fork because it was based on an earlier version of DCS-BIOS, and followed a different evolution to the original that became "Hub". This means it's essentially the same at its base functioning. Edited March 30 by No1sonuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
