Re: AM not sending every command to XP

Thanks. I think there is some kind of buffer or a check if all signals got through, Ralph mentioned something like this years ago. I wonder if some tuning of these parameters would influence the reliability of the signal transmission? I have no idea how to slow down the process, except maybe writing...

AM not sending every command to XP

Hi there, this is an effect I experienced years ago on a PC. Now with a Mac, XP11 and an Arduino encoder, I stumble upon the same issue. I want to use a double encoder, the small knob is for changing the course by 1, the big knob is for changing the course by 10 steps. Not exactly like in an airplan...

Re: Arduino Nano 5x5 button Matrix unreliable

Diodes are for double button presses, yes. Since I don't need this feature, I'll save 25 diodes.
It turned out one button was unreliable, also two soldering connections did not work correct either. I resoldered stuff and now things look better.

Arduino Nano 5x5 button Matrix unreliable

Hi guys, I built a 5x5 matrix with a Nano. I'm using relatively high-quality buttons. No further electronics like diodes or capacitators. In general, AM detects the keypresses. Sometimes I have to press a button 4-5 times until the buttons gets recognised. Sometimes they work just from the start. I ...

Re: FLIGHTGFX work in progress

Looking at the graphics, it reminds me of PSX. Eyecandy.

Re: Looking for a homecockpit seat on a budget

I finally decided for a racing car seat. Now mounting it, even with the seat most forward, the stick is too far away from the seat. In neutral position my arms are pretty much straight. Of course I could try to cut out a bit of the seat, but it would be messy. Do any of you guys use car seats and a ...

Re: AI assisted Lua scripting?

Not sure if you checked out ChatGPT recently, but I am again amazed. It can search the web now, even in free mode. I asked it, how I could add a G1000 popup to the default B58 and set the speeds accordingly on the speedtape. It took it a few seconds, then it told me which steps to take. Faster than ...

Re: Sessions by FLIGHTGFX?

Well, perhaps in winter? I am having my head at too many places, and now in summer I'd rather go hiking or biking or hanging out with friends and beer or combine all of the above :D I mean just look at the airliner panels by BW901, brilliant work with countless hours in it and still very little feed...
