NGXu air temp rotary switch

[James Curry]

Hi all,

I'm trying to program in sioc my air temp rotary switch as there wasn't any pre made script in my current one.

I'm half way there but missing something but not sure what.
The switch inputs show up in io console so I know sioc sees the switches and inputs,
but im missing on how to get them to link to FS and the PMDG

My setup is NGXu with P3d5.3 and pretty much full opencockpits hardware,
does anyone have a script for this rotary switch that I can use please?

Regards James

I think I'm getting somewhere as I copied the logic from the wipers switch which basically does a similar thing.

I've not hit gold yet as havent actually managed to get the sim to move on rotation of the hardware yet.
I think i'm using the wrong name for the "CabTemp" as this should be a PMDG recognised command, does anyone have the correct string/variable I should be using please?

Some comments:

As my OVH did not come with any wirings to the AIR TEMP, I never tried to make this part in the driver and the script.

But, if you have it wired , here are some details can can hellp you further.

[James Curry]

Thank you, that looks just the ticket,
ill try programming those in and give it a whirl!

your help is as always much appreciated.

Hi all i feel ive made real progress tonight and have managed to program my own script for this switch and it all works.
2585 ACT_SO_S_800 is the 7 position rotary and commands that is the cabin air temp selector switches,

Incidentally, If your wiring up to a card that reads pots then these are the commands and vars for the cont cab, fwd cab and aft cab temperature pots

I hope this helps others as it took me quite a while to figure out for pmdg/p3d but thanks to a few peoples help out there and hacking some existing scripts for rotarys etc......

Hello James,

Good job and great that you have mastered SIOC. I will also test the script and then use it in my flightdeck!
Are you going to script the brightness for DU’s now?

Would be great to have this working too..

Best regards

Remco

[James Curry]

im looking in to that but im having a tough time getting pots to successfully operate as analogic inputs. This is my next mission so I can get the cont cab temp selectors successfully setup as well as the display brightness pots

[PH-JRJ]

I’d just discovered scripted analog inputs in the script provided by Roar.
The tilt and gain of the WX radarpanel in the pedestal device 32 are scripted and use the analog inputs of the USB exp card.

I connected a potmeter to one of the inputs, tested it In PMDG and the this works!

I think that by using the VAR’s for the temp pots in the OVH this could work

Best regards

Remco

[James Curry]

cheers for the heads up on this, lifesaver, ill have a look!

[James Curry]

Well I have cracked this too it appears.

The analogic inputs on USB servos plus card gives different inputs to that on the usb expansion card.
servos plus card gives up to 1018 value and the standard expansion card the standard 255 value as expected.

I connected the pots to the standard expansion card board and with the values and script below it works absolutely fine and the sim and softyware dimmers are in harmony
I hope this script is of use to anyone out there. I hope to look at and revisit my dimmers now for the original displays brightness for the CRT main screens now!!!
