There's at least two different samples in the Z_2D_XP MCDU with :
  • 32 INPUTS : for 8 x 8 Buttons Array = 64 Push Buttons Maxi
  • 5 INPUTS : for 2 x 3 Buttons Array = 6 Push Buttons Maxi

    = 37 INPUTS
or
  • 37 INPUTS : for 4 x 8 + 1 x 5 (4 x (4 x 4) + 1 x (2 x 3) Buttons Array) = 70 Push Buttons Maxi

[EDIT] added missing function for button nbr to function binding, thanks to Joe's accurate observation

Very nice Gilles.
Can I please ask how you are enumerating the button value to the function list ?
thanks

Gilles,

@SimPassion the maximum number of columns and rows is set at 8. You would need to adjust your code as I note you have 9 columns in one of you matrix's. Corjan changed it in Dec 2020.

:oops: again, I'll take it in account, thanks Keith for this precision I've also missed

For all, indeed using, while using buttons array, the user is responsible alone to perform the proper wiring biding and ensure pressing a button will trigger the expected command ... until us, as devs, would be able to include a new feature to ease such buttons array binding nightmare on simmer side ;-)

So, I will build a mock-up using a 2560, in order to be sure all is working properly inside the Z_2D_XP MCDU instrument, with next script fix and release

Hi,

I did this some time ago. It is for the ZIBO.

Thanks Keith, I understand the 8 x 8 array is working and your hardware function is more straight forward on direct Arduino binding and usage, for those not wanting to display the graphics parts :)
In my case I still have to deliver both parts in it and simmers are still able and allowed to hide graphics parts, while using the instrument in an AM/AP panel. However I have to maintain the graphics and visual for usage outside hardware cockpit
In short there's many approaches and one can choose between all is already available

The post #2 have been updated to bring
-- 32 INPUTS : for 8 x 8 Buttons Array = 64 Push Buttons Maxi
-- 5 INPUTS : for 2 x 3 Buttons Array = 6 Push Buttons Maxi

so an overall of 37 INPUTS

targeting the 69 inputs required for keys (the latest one is not use, so the related function is empty)

https://siminnovations.com/forums/viewt ... 258#p48258

I hope it will work, though I still have to perform the testing to ensure I will submit a new Z_2D_XP MCDU release without any issue in it
