Off-the-Wall Feature Request

Hello, guys: This is really a suggestion from out of no-where but if anyone could bring it to AM, you guys are the ones. You have created some fantastic stuff for Sim Innovations and this would be right up there! What am I suggesting? A Working Title quality, self contained Autopilot! Just the files...

Re: Questiion About Timer_Start

Corjan OK - I tried. Now I need to scratch my head a little stronger because I am uncertain what the code is going to be doing while it's waiting for the timer to time out. In other words: ... ID = start_timer(5000, CB) WHAT GOES HERE? ... Function CB() Did device start? ... Thanks for your time. S...

Re: Questiion About Timer_Start

Hi, Corjan:

But, what does it do? And, if it does nothing, could you make it into a simple delay? For example ID = timer_start(5000) would simply wait 5 seconds and then execution would carry on.

Re: Questiion About Timer_Start

Hello, Keith: I know about the other varieties of timer_start, but I want to use the version ID = timer_start(delay). That is a valid call; I was informed by Ralph to look at the wiki but I sent him (see right above your reply) where I outlined my use. It seems like it should just delay processing f...

Questiion About Timer_Start

Hello: I have a simple question: The first option on the timer_start page looks like this: ID = timer_start(delay). Can someone explain what this does? I thought it did this: print("1") ID = timer_start(8000) print("2") I thought it would print 1, wait 8 seconds, print 2. But it ...

PMS-50 - GTN750 APGA Autopilot Question

Hello:
I was just looking at the documentation for the instruments mentioned above (alphabet soup) and noticed that their folders also included a standalone (from what I gather) autopilot.
Has anyone seen this or tried to connect it through AM?
Just wondering?

Re: I Need Help!!
