AM Instrument as Hardware Debugging Console

#1 Post by SimPassion »

If it happens wondering how to easily debug instruments not handling visual display, let think of a remote instrument handling them all

I made this on the need of debugging, while building a full 1:1 cockpit in a real aircraft hardware cell
Let's take this sample, as only a start point on which anyone can pick idea and build on its own, with very different design and process as required
Other may already have build their own solution though
  • On the left in AM, the instrument sending labels and data to be logged and on the right the instrument which read data and values to be displayed on a remote screen, using IIC
  • The Labels and values are logged through 54 x lines in an indefinite loop and when reaching line #53 + 1, the displayed line target is set directly to #00, with overwriting the existing displayed data.
  • On each line displayed the line index is incremented by +1.

Updated for better handling on Debug Console restart and also avoid displaying empty strings
