Re: Multiple Pi’s

Ralph,

Additionally, I have noticed with AirManager only (without AP) all of the button, switch and encoder input responses are lagging. It takes multiple button presses to effect a change, and encoders often skip steps. This started with 4.2.x.

Re: AM 4.2.1 Hardware not working after upgrade

Hi Ralph, To test 4.2.1 I simply have the arduinos powered on and are reading single button pushes from a single validated test instrument running in the Creat/Edit tab. Xplane is not running so the plugin is not the issue. I do see button pushes but they are very delayed and eventually crease. Chuck

Re: AM 4.2.1 Hardware not working after upgrade

Some further information, hardware does work for a short while but starts to get laggy and eventually quits.

Re: Servo behaving oddly since last upgrade

Tony, XP provides the poorly named "flap_handle_deploy_ratio" dataref for the flap position. My aircraft has 4 flap positions so the dataref is either 0, .333, .667, or 1. I then just use a linear fit equation to output the required pwm to the servo. Has worked fine for years. The offset i...

Servo behaving oddly since last upgrade

My flap gauge uses an SG9 servo and up to recently has been operating perfectly. However now with latest upgrade the servo is moving slightly on its own, even with XP not running. Seems to move every 5 secs or so. Then when XP is then launched the gain and offset terms (simple linear eq: y = mx + b)...

Re: Remove Knobs

Simple to remove, Pop the cap off the small knob with your fingernail or small screwdriver. The small knob collet can then be loosened with a blade screwdriver. Slide off the small knob to reveal a 8mm?? collet nut on the large knob. It can be loosened with a socket or nut driver then slide off the ...

Re: Using the TM1637 display, so easy!!

They really couldn’t be easier. The only thing to remember is the displays only display strings. So the tostring() function is needed along with the concatenation (..) operator to help with the positioning the characters.
