[0utLAW]

Hey guys, I making a short 2 part video for an introduction to Helios. Let me know what you think and if you have any comments or would like to see a topic covered. I'm no expert in Helios but would like to have a source of the basic workings of this great program. I'm still working on part 2 and will post it in this message when it's complete.

I show how to set the bindings for the toggle switches in Helios that in turn update the switch position in the game and vice versa. I also show how to bind physical real world toggles switches to control those in Helios as well as the game.

 

Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to assist if I can.:thumbup:

Thanks

 

I would love to. If only I had one of his CMSPs!(hint hint) :)

[agrasyuk]

Moken, only 4 or 5 of those exist in nature. were you one of the original buyers? If so how did you manage to hold of on config all this time! Lol :) :lol:

 

Regardless, mapping it is easy. The device connects to USB but it is actually a serial port adapter. You need FTDI VSP drivers (look on the cable, see it says "ftdi"). Once connected open a profile editor , choose add interface, select EOS bus and specify the number of virtual serial port. Click scan. Cmsp will be listed there with its inputs and outputs like usual USB devices. Proceed mapping normally.

[moken]

Thanks Anton and Gadroc support, but I can not find the which one output name of CMSP for blinding , tomorrow i will send my problem screen in here ask again,

 

Sorry ， I know that I am stupid on electric skill , I hope to learn more from you

[moken]

I already capture my screen show the problem, please see the following photo, actuclly I can not find the blinding item of CMSP, could you tell me which one blinding to set text 0 , and which one blinding to set text 1 for show CMSP info?

[agrasyuk]

That's because that binding doesn't exist at the moment

[saskcan]

Nice video! I found it as a great introduction to Helios. I look forward to configuring my cockpit when I get all the pieces together!

[0utLAW]

Thanks for the comment saskcan. And thank you agrasyuk for your help with moken's issue.

 

Currently, I do not have any rotaries, potentiometers, seven segment displays or LCDs in my pit. Though I would like to add some when my funds are a little more in line.(unemployed at the moment)

 

I have only been using three of the GroovyGameGear GP-Wiz 40 Max boards to connect toggle switches and momentary push buttons. I would however, like to get my hands on Pokey and Phidgets boards to compare and evaluate them.

 

I still need to learn about interfacing rotaries, potentiometers, seven segment displays and LCDs. Once I do, I'd be more than happy to make videos showing how to interface them with Helios and DCS. I don't know just something in me likes to make tutorial videos. Helps me learn and remember I guess. Also, I just like sharing knowledge. AWWWWWWW:smartass:

[0utLAW]

what no sticky? :.(

[jander]

yeah should definitely be sticky, great video OutLaw
