October 14, 200916 yr The basic stamp line of modules interfaces to the PC through a serial port. FSUIPC is a software interface module which provides the means to exchange data with Microsoft Flight Simulator. FSUIPC by itself does not have the capability to send data through the serial com port. You must write a program which will configure FSUIPC to exchange (extract or write) the specific FS data you are interested in. Your program must also open the serial com port and configure it to match the bit rate, parity and number of bits used by the basic stamp. Your program will be in control extracting data from FS using FSUIPC, formatting that data, and transmitting it through the serial port to the basic stamp. You must also write the pbasic program that will run on the basic stamp.You can find sample software for using FSUIPC in the FSUIPC programmer's guide. Information about configuring the PC serial com port is available from the Microsoft MSDN online library.( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810467.aspx)Mike Powellwww.mikesflighdeck.comwww.mikesflightdeckbooks.com
