Annuciator output?

Post by topair »

I have done a bit of searching but I am either missing a previous post or maybe it hasn't been asked which I find hard to believe. Either way I am looking to build my own annuciator panel to set off the warning lights in my C172 simulator. Can someone point me in the right direction that would give me the information about the offsets or eventID's that I can program into my arduino which will allow me to trigger my LED lights? If it helps I am using both FSUIPC as well as Mobiflight in combination with P3DV4 and tha A2A172 trainer.


Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony and welcome.

Sounds like an interesting project. A2A produce a list of the most commonly-used L:Vars here but I don't think this'll include those for the annunciator panel. Therefore you'll have to use FSUIPC to log the L:Vars to the FSUIPC log file (see here). Here's a link to a text file from when I did this a while ago; if you search through, you'll find some L:vars as shown below which are what you'll need to invoke.

Code: Select all

L:FuelLLight
L:FuelRLight

I haven't used these myself, so can't provide any examples I'm afraid.

Thanks,

With Nick providing the variable listings I can point you in the direction of this thread from community member alioth who is doing truly special stuff that I am sure could help you in any custom builds;
