event.timer

[Swamech 1]

Hello everyone,

 

        Adding some stuff to a aircraft module and trying to use event.timer function from the event.lua. When I run linda it says event cannot be found.

Any ideas why it is not finding the function from the event.lua.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Are you sure it is not saying that the function your are trying to register (i.e. the event) is not found? In which case you may have mis-spelled the name, or maybe its definition appears below the event.timer() call? Just guessing, I have yet to play with events.

Mark,

 

Thanks for the input. I believe it did say function event not found. Not at the house for a couple days so wont be able to check. But I will update after I look it over real carefully.

Mark, 

 

I entered it wrong. But turns out its not the function I needed for making course and fine adjustments on a encoder in linda. Did this instead:

 

 

function HDG_INC()

 

    HDG_INC_TIME = ipc.elapsedtime()

    if mcp_hdg_mode == 1 then

 

        if (HDG_INC_TIME - Hdg_inc) < 150 then

            local i

            for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(70022, 16384) end

         else

            ipc.control(70022, 16384)

        end

 

     else

        NGX_AP_BANK_inc()

     end

 

   NGX_AP_HDG_show()

   Hdg_inc = HDG_INC_TIME

 

end

 

function HDG_DEC()

 

    HDG_DEC_TIME = ipc.elapsedtime()

    if mcp_hdg_mode == 1 then

 

        if (HDG_DEC_TIME - Hdg_dec) < 150 then

            local i

            for i = 1, 4 do ipc.control(70022, 8192) end

        else

            ipc.control(70022, 8192)

        end

 

    else

        NGX_AP_BANK_dec()

    end

 

    NGX_AP_HDG_show()

    Hdg_dec = HDG_DEC_TIME

 

end

Oh yeah, it looks like you get coarse adjust if you spin the knobs faster? I did something like that to ignore the double-clicks generated by the nasty rotaries on Saitek radio panels. I use a SHIFT function for coarse/fine adjust, although that relies on having a rotary control with a central push-switch (push-and-turn is coarse control, just turning the knob is fine control).
