FF A320 APU Start

[kth64]

Hi folks,

i`m trying to turn on the APU on a A320 via hardware buttons,

I can turn on the APS MAster button.

Code: Select all

function apuon_pressed()

  print("Master APU on")

  xpl_command("a320/Overhead/APU_Master_button")
end


hw_button_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_D3", apuon_pressed)

The Datarefs and commands where allready there ( dataref a320/Overhead/APU_Master; Command a320/Overhead/APU_Master_button).

Now I want to do the same with den APU Start.
The datarefs and command are similar to the Master ( dataref a320/Overhead/APU_Start; Command a320/Overhead/APU_Start_button).

My code ist therefor is

Code: Select all

function apustart_pressed()

  print("Start APU")

  xpl_command("a320/Overhead/APU_Start_button")
end


hw_button_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_D4", apustart_pressed)

Surprisingly this doesn`t work
I dont know what the problem is, so if there is someone who can help me it would be great.

Thanks

It might be that you have to send a begin and end command. More information here: https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.p ... pl_command

The begin would be in the pressed callback, the end in the released callback.

Hi Ralph,

could be, but why does it work with the APU Master?

ist the same function.

No it`s not,

You where right, APU Start is activated by unpressing the button.


Thanks for the Help.
