Instrument not displaying properly in Air Player

[pierclav]

I have a simple indicator that is triggered by a digital input on an Arduino. All it does is change to yellow using the "Visible" function. It works fine when I run the instrument in Air Manager (3.3) but not in Air Player on the computer I need to run it on. I have other instruments on the same panel and they all fine in Air Player. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Pierre

Hello Pierre

could you put here a piece of code for to try to figure out what could be the issue ?

Please post the code so we can take a look. I suppose you could of discovered a bug.

Here is the code with the images. As you will see, there is not much to it. It runs fine all day long on Air Manager but no dice on Air Player.

Thank you,

Pierre

Pierre,

Can you try this. I'm just getting ready to move so most of my sim stuff is packed away so i'm unable to try but I noticed the extra hw_input_read in your code that is not required. I doubt this is the issue but worth checking/noting. You can also reduce the callback code to a single statement as shown.

Just a small thing to make it quicker for others to help in future please use the export feature in AM to make the instrument zip as it's just a simple case of using the AM import to get the instrument up and running.

Can someone else please help Pierre by checking this with Air Player.

Code: Select all

master_caution_off = img_add("master_off.png", 125, 9, 85, 85)
master_caution_on = img_add("master_on.png", 125, 9, 85, 85)
visible(master_caution_on, false)

function input_change(state)

	visible(master_caution_on, state)

end

hw_input_id = hw_input_add("ARDUINO_UNO_A_D3", input_change)

Just in case, in order to work with Air Player instrument,
the Arduino board should be mandatory connected to the same PC where Air Player is running
checked OK at the moment

Gilles,

Thank you for the info. I just moved my Arduino to my Air Player machine and everything is good now.

Best regards,

Pierre

Quite frequently it's a simple solution.

I am sure this was only the first of many headaches. I am phasing out my Opencockpits set up and going pretty much all Arduino. I have 2 Mega boards hooked-up back-to back (One Air Manager and one Mobiflight). First tests look promising. We'll see how it goes for the rest.
