Dataref with ZIBO

[Stef26]

Hi,

I made an mcp panel for the zibo.

I can't program the push buttons like "VOR LOC" for example.

Code: Select all

xpl_command("laminar/B738/autopilot/vorloc_press")

when I execute the command, the VOR LOC key light is active but it does not stay on. It works well in the simulator.

Can someone help me ?

Thank you

Hi,

Did you look at the MCP that Gilles did? It is in the store.

I had a quick look at his code.
This code is what activates the button.

Code: Select all

function press_vor_loc(position)	-- VOR LOC button function
	xpl_command("laminar/B738/autopilot/vorloc_press")
end

And this is the dataref that indicates the status.

Code: Select all

xpl_dataref_subscribe("laminar/B738/autopilot/vorloc_status","INT",	vorloc_chg)

Yes i saw, thank for your help

I specify that it is for a hardware panel

I think i need to use :

Code: Select all

xpl_command("laminar/B738/autopilot/vorloc_press", var)

and check the actual state with :

Code: Select all

xpl_dataref_subscribe("laminar/B738/autopilot/vorloc_status","INT", vorloc_chg)

I try to find the best way

For the switch you would indeed need to subscribe to the dataref and set the switch light with that.

I'll write you the exact code you need tomorrow.
