>May work on a dual rotarie version in FSCONV shortly...The two dual rotaries version of the COMM1 radio is available in a beta version of FSCONV 5.30 (see the NOTAM page, May 2)There are other additions as well: the Parking brake switch is now leading, there's a 2-bit version of the Parking Brake switch, and there are toggle type versions for a lot of ON/OFF Leading push buttons. Cheers!Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

Hi,FSCONV 5.30 is available for download from my site, see page NOTAM May 18, 2006Cheers,Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

Hi,I have opened a show case section at the FSCONV page of my website. Here you may find pictures of home cockpits from builders using the Level-D SDK/FSCONV software. Rgrds,Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

hello folks outthere im wondering if anyone is using phidgets with there level d outhere and fsconv, im so close to getting it to work.Thanks .........Robert

Robert,I have browsed quickly through the Phidgets website.It seems to me that you can use all kinds of language environments to program your phidgets, such as C, C++, Visual Basic, Java..Note that for each of these environments you will find a Library with routines to interface to FSUIPC in the FSUIPC SDK, 27th version at http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html.Just choose one you are familiar with and program the interface between your hardware and the FSUIPC Offsets.... Like I said there is no difference between FS2004 offsets and FSCONV offsets.This is one way to do it. It will certainly work although it neeeds programming skills. Other environements like FSBUS and IOCards also offer a higher lever user interface to connect hardware to FSUIPC offsets (without programming). I'm not sure if Phidgets is offering that too. I have not seen it at their website and I don't expect it because Phidgets is meant for a much broader applications area then just FS2004.Cheers,Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

Another (nice) way out would be to use the C-language to control your Phidgets, forget about FSUIPC and FSCONV all together, and interface with the Level-D SDK directly! (it's a C-interface)Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

Hi,This might be the right tool to let Phidgets communicate with FSUIPC:http://www.phidgetsusa.com/fs/fs2phidgets/..._FS2Phidget.aspNicowww.nicokaan.nl

Hi Robert, I quite often get internet mail delivery failures when trying to mail you.. so:You have to write your .ini file for FS2Phidgets:The offset for controlling (commanding) the battery switch (to connect to your momentary push button) is in FSCONV section 2.6.1 offset 0x8B3E (size 2 bytes) Bit 0 The information about whether the battery switch is On or Off (to control a led) is in FSCONV section 2.5 at offset 0x8B8C (size 4 bytes) Bit 0 On top of that you have to write your FSCONV.INI, for the above example it should read like this:{SERVICES} ELECTRICAL_INFO=4 ELECTRICAL_CMND=8 {ELECTRICAL_CMND} BUTTONS=1 Note: and with square brackets instead of curly bracketsRegards,Nicowww.nicokaan.nl

thanks for the reply, well i guess i need to ask the question on how do you write and ini file, can you lead me in the right direction.i have gotten it to work , i got the battery switch to work through trial and error, i have even gotten two other switches to work .it seems i did not write a ini file, can you direct me in the right direction on doing this
