October 31, 200322 yr sorry forlks :) obviously i found it via googlethis is the right urlhttp://www.myrolypoly.com/lcd_project/lcd_project.htmlalls is the same, only the 10K pot has pin 3 on his var-pin and most importantly, it is wired to the ground !!but i'm super happy now that it works beautifully now !!
October 31, 200322 yr Hallo,Congratulations, must be a wonderful sight!I was wondering where to put the files WinIO.dll, WinIo.sys and WinIo.vxd? There is no documentation in the fslcd_32.zip file..???Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

The dlls should work when placed there as well.Tuomas
November 1, 200322 yr Great program and concept. I have it working, but I have a question:How can I add a current Flaps postion to the .ini file? What is the FSUIPC Hex address for Flap Position? Thanks

Thanks>0BE0, 4 bytes, you can find that in the FSUIPC for programmers, in the FSUIPC_SDK:====0BE0 4 Flaps position indicator (left).Note that in FS2002 this gives the correct proportional amount, with 16383=full deflection. It doesn
November 3, 200322 yr Thanks for the help. I tried it in FS 2004, but the formula doesn't work correctly. I can get the data to display, but it doesn't match the flap setting. Can you give me a step by step explanation as to what to put in each field in FSLCD? Max flap angle is 40 degress with 9 detents (0,1,2,5,10,15,25,30,40 degrees respectively). Thanks again.
November 3, 200322 yr Dave,[FSparam44]sname=#flaps#Oformat=%02.0fOsize=2FSUIPCtype=u32FSUIPCaddress=0BE0FSUIPCsize=4add=sub=div=16383mul=9mask=neg=0right=0This will give you values 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8What you want is not possible with FSLCD because there is no formula to map this range of values on to the ones you want (0,1,2,5,10,15,25,30 and 40). You need a conversion table for that, which is not supported bij the program, i'm afraid.Regards,Nicowww.nicokaan.nl
November 9, 200322 yr Hi everyone, just a quick status report on this project.... I got the LCD's, only to find that I hadn't noticed when I bid on them that they don't have a backlight. :-( Oh well, never mind. I wired one up to a Parallel cable using a protoboard, ran the FSLCD software, and bingo, there was my info! Took everything to pieces, got out some perfboard and wired it all back together permanently... and all I have is a row of black squares across just the lower line of the two line display :-( Obviously I've goosed something in the hardwired assembly. Probably my crappy soldering skills. But at least I know it's GOING to work :-)Richard
November 9, 200322 yr should be something with the data lines that don't give trough correctlyor it's the pot for adjusting contrast that is not set up properlygot that too from time to time ;)
November 9, 200322 yr Hi again... I found a crossed wire in the wiring, and put that right. Now, when I start FSLCD, I get two lines of data.... Just not what it's supposed to be :-(The on-screen display of FSLCD shows:-0414.0 121.90 124.85 1200 113.90 110.50The LCD though shows:-!!!131/91!!135/95!!!113/91!!111/51 When I had it wired through the protoboard it was working fine, so it's got to be something I've still not found that's messed up in my wiring or soldering.Richard
