Trying to add mor Plug&Play-Devices

[fschrewe]

Hi,
I am trying to modify your script and add the left CDU, COM2, NAV and ADF radios. I thought this could be done by copying the script for left CDU and Com1, followed by renaming and renumbering the Vars and changing the device numbers. But when I looked at the device numbers you used in your scripts, I discovered three groups of var numbers:
- The first group is numbered consecutively from 1 to 172 and contain something like "custom vars". These are easy to adopt by simply continue counting.
- The second group uses var numbers documented in the offset tables delivered with ocp4777x. These are also quite easy to adopt by searching the tables for the correct var numbers.
- The third group contains var numbers I can't reconstruct, such as Var 1999 or Var numbers higher than 3000.

Could you please explain how to change these numbers in order to adopt the scripts?

Best regards,
Frank Schrewe

I believe you mean adding the right CDU, not the Left one as that is already in the script.

I am not aware of any NAV or ADF modules in the B777. Navigation functions are in the CDU.


I will release a new B777 driver and script next week. This has all 3 CDU's and COM2 implemented.

It also has improved rotary and MCP display functions.


Just wait a little and you have your modules connected with the default script.

sorry, of course I meant the right CDU. I also checked about the NAV and ADF modules. You are right. I mixed it up with the B767 and B744, where these modules are at least used as a backup.

Looing at the overhead PÜanel I have another question: My Overheadpanel (B737) has flip switches, while the B777 is mostly built with korrys. How can I make sure that the state of the corry switch reflects the position of the hardware switches. According to the SDK the korrys are simply toggle-switches, while the B737 had dedicated on/off commands transmitted?
