LINK2FS_Multi_FS9.
For the ARDUINO Cards.
For FS2004 ONLY … See
another page for the FSX one.
See bottom of page for current version.
Beta
Testers Overview ,,,
This
program is the outcome of making an interface like “Link2fs_Multi_FSX” where
the Arduino card could be interfaced with FSX.
Now
here is one that does the same for FS9
(FS2004) ,, it has lots of extractions and also direct inputs (not keys)
although “keys” is still there for
some
odd-ball inputs.
Anyone
that use’s the older “inOut” program will love this as it is a way more
versatile ,, how-ever they would need to do their INO again as
the
output identifiers are different ,,,, BUT ,,, there is virtually no coding
needed for inputs as it has direct input capabilities.
If
you use the FSX Multi and also use FS9 ,, then you can straight away use your
present system with this one for FS9. (Same INO)
I
have thrown this out there now so Beta Testers can have a play and let me know
what to fix. (I just haven’t the time to fully test every last bit of it)
Look
out for errors in data ,, things that don’t work as expected ,,, GUI mistakes
,,, anything odd.
I’m
not worried about the actual Arduino code side of things ,,, it’s the core
program that needs tested.
Some
Pictures of the FS9 “Multi” ,,,,
The
exe is a “Stand Alone” exe ,,,, it is NOT an installer so it wont mess your
Windows installation.
(Even
use it from a USB drive if you like)
You
do need Net Framework 2 (or greater) installed on your computer ,, but most
computers have this already.
Tested
on XP(32bit), Windows 7(64bit) and windows 8 (64bit) ,,, I don’t know about
Windows 8.1 ??
I’ve
enclosed more wav files this time so it’s a bigger file than the FSX one ,,
about 4MB in total.
A big thank you Guys for any feedback ,,, Jim
Drop any findings into this forum ,,,,

HELP
FILES ,,,
There
are heaps of help information included in the download along with quite a few
“demo” INO’s for the Arduino
If
you find the INO files confusing ,, have a look here for some simple “get you
going” stuff ,,,,
http://www.jimspage.co.nz/multi_starter_pack.htm
It’s
my “starter” stuff that has be updated for the “Mutli”.
If
you download a PDE/INO from the forums etc,, make sure it is one to suit the “Multi”
,, My older “Link2fs_inOut” program’s PDE/INO’s won’t run on the “Multi”
without conversion.
There
is no reason you cant use the “older” style of
INO’s with this program but remember all the identifiers are different
and all now have 2 identifiers.
Also
the way the data is sent from the Arduino to my program has changed. (Not
dramatically though.)
There
is no “help” with you doing your own INO file (for the Arduino) but I would
like to hear of anything wrong with my program ,,, thanks.
You
can download it here ,,,,,,

ISSUES,,,
Nothing
I’m aware of at release date although I haven’t done much testing ,,, that’s
your mission.
HISTORY
10 December 2013 release version 2 (Complete package)
Fixed … A lot of “house-keeping” stuff.
Released via my website today.
Your present (Mutli beta5g) Arduino INO files wont need to be modified.
Your present (Mutli beta5g) “Card” files wont need to be modified.
1 December 2013 release version 1 (Complete package)
Fixed … “Ground Clearance” <E data. (It’s now fixed length like it should be ,, it used to vary)
Fixed … Some wav files in the GPWS. (speeds 30 and 40 were actually chatter files inserted for testing)
Renamed
the FSX one ,, “Link2fs_Multi_FSX” so there is difference from the FS9 version.
Your present (Mutli beta5g) Arduino INO files wont need to be modified.
Your present (Mutli beta5g) “Card” files wont need to be modified.
