How is information outputted from PC to panels?


Recommended Posts

I am wondering specifically how the master caution alarm signal could be sent to the UFC panel I am building.

 

My friend who is handling the board layout for me said it is quite simple to make a controller board for the UFC, but he was asking me about how the signal would get sent to the UFC from the game.

 

Does it require some software to be running in the background on the PC, or can it be handled somehow in the microcontroler he will build for the UFC.

in a very few words:

you configure export.LUA to send out UDP datagrams for the data you need (ie the MC indicator). you create the software that intersects those datagrams (yes , running in the background) and sends the flag to turn the indicator on to your hardware (that is designed to look for that flag).

i'm still researching the middleware software part
