Re: Rpi 4

Hi Corjan, I know you are up to your eyes, but any news on an R-Pi 4 image release soon?? I want to use the Pi 4 to drive the professional EFD1000 instrument an try and make it completely standalone. I read somewhere there was to be a revision update for the EFD1000 too, or have I got that wrong?? B...

RPi 4 RAM size for EFD1000 premium panel

I want to run the EFD1000 premium panel on an RPi4 I am driving a display (which is exactly the right size for the EFD1000 but has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels type LS060R1SX01 display). I am happy to run the display at 720 x 1280 pixels and can get the system screen to display correctl...

Re: ASPEN EFD 1000 Improved version

Hi Ralph et al,

These might help. I have not used them for some years now, I hope I got the correct ones.

Re: Using a High Definition display with RPi.

Hey Ralph, You are a genius. That works on the GTX1080Ti so I must be able to transfer the appropriate settings to the RPi. In which case: Eu30 for a 3D printed bezel panel. Eu40 for PCB with switches and rotary encoders Eu79 for the High Res screen. Eu35 for an RPi. Eu30 for Air player. Eu10 for EF...

Re: Using a High Definition display with RPi.

Hi Ralph, That is a real disappointment. Yes I am using HDMI. I was hoping to use hdmi_group=2 and hdmi_mode=87. and set the pixel size manually. Unfortunately the display only operates in native resolution mode as far as I can tell. Despite playing with these parameters I could not get the display ...

Using a High Definition display with RPi.

Hi Ralph, Just bought myself an RPi 3 B (not Plus) and a 6 inch high res. display. My reasoning is to run the EFD1000 professional panel on the Pi as a stand alone instrument and use the GPIO to receive button presses and Inc. Encoder inputs from the EFD1000 panel. I have tried playing with the grap...

Re: ASPEN EFD 1000 Improved version

Hi Jacques, I am in need of some advice. As posted earlier I am not using ArdSim but instead have written Arduino code for the Teensy ++2 to write directly to the free_flyer bits in X-Plane. What I have found is that I can write to free_flyer in X-Plane 10 but something in X-Plane 11 is setting free...

Re: ASPEN EFD 1000 Improved version

Hi Jacques, Lars,

This is all very exciting. (Congrats on the ATPL, I was helping with Stall tests on an HS125-800 yesterday, great fun.) So not good on the software writing side but delighted to Beta test if this helps.

Re: ASPEN EFD 1000 Improved version

Hi Larsras, I am not the expert on this, but I have just spent this last weekend playing with BauerMeister-version of the EFD1000. It is the most complete so far, but the aspect ratio of the instrument does not correctly reflect the real instrument (Despite what I thought in an earlier post). HAving...

Re: ASPEN EFD 1000 Improved version

Thanks for that. I have had great difficulty personally getting to grips with ArdSimX the configurator drives me nuts. I have found it much easier to write my own code directly. The other issue is that with my own code I can manipulate X-plane data Refs directly rather than send increment or decreme...
