G940 Leds - working program :)

[jayzhawk]

Hi Frostregen,

hope you are doing fine. Thanks for having all the G940 LED related stuff assembled on one place and for creating the Gitlab repository.

Are you still using the G940 with its LEDS?

As the sources for the original exe file have been kind of lost, I've written my own DLL for the Logitech API. Furthermore, there is now a little JavaFX application which provides a tiny GUI to interact with the LEDs. My next step is to integrate an UDP client which shall - in first attempt - be compatible with the original G940 LEDs. One other idea is, to program multiple blink pattern at the UDP client side so that those wont have to be created in the LUA file.

Do you have any interest in continuing here on this?

 

Greetings

Hi jayzhawk,

in October 2022 I decided to finally move away from Windows, and my new PC was set up using Linux. I'm still happy about that switch every single day

Of course there are always some issues / changes involved:

• My G940 pedals (rewired to custom Leo Bodnar joystick board) were not recognised anymore - in DCS through Steam. I assume it is some false positive gyroscope exclusion (it hast just 2 axes - no buttons? Must be gyroscope...).
  • Got MFG Crosswinds instead
• The FFB on the G940 was simply set to always center. Nothing else worked.
  • I implemented the ability to set the FFB centering strength, as well as disabling it into the driver. This made it usable again, although no "dead stick" anymore
• I wanted to get a proper heli collective grip. Exchanged the G940 throttle with Virpil Rotor TCS Plus Base and SharKa-50 Grip
• Last thing was to get a proper "dead-stick" again
  • Exchanged G940 Stick with Virpil CM3 Base, 200mm extension and new FLNKR grip

Currently I am not using the G940 anymore. It has been a really nice setup for many years.
So I like to sell it cheap in hope someone continues to enjoy it.

If you like to be maintainer on my gitlab repo, just let me know.

Best,
Frostregen
