G1000 Simconnect example

[petesk82 1]

Hi All.

I am using emuTeqs G1000 hardware and Mindstars G1000  software and via SimConnect   I am sending to the software the various hardware button presses as events mapped to the G1000.ini. 

eg 

SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent (hSimconnect, eventID,"#0x11001");  // one for each hardware button mapped to G1000.ini entries as doc'd

& 

SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent( hSimconnect , 0 , eventID , 0 , SIMCONNECT_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY_HIGHEST,   SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY); 

 

and everything works fine and the G1000 software responds to the button presses.

 

No problem there but what I would like to know is how to read back the state of radio LED's  if set up to be sent in the [output] section of the  G1000.ini file.

 

Basically I'm not sure what Simconnect functions I should be using when trying to access a 3rd party event streams.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Stopped being lazy and re-read docs.

this'll do it 

   SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect ,  0x11301,"#0x11301");

   SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(hSimConnect, GROUP_B ,  0x11301, false); 

then 

monitor SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_EVENT in dispatch procedure.

Refer to the [OUTPUT] section on this page: G1000.ini Guide

Yes, read that , but it doesn't give  any SimConnect coding examples which would help.

I'm not certain why you want us to provide samples of how to receive custom events with SimConnect when that is already well documented in the SimConnect SDK itself.

 

We do not provide code.

It just makes life a bit easier for your customers.

 

We don't expect you to write our software but a few helpful pointers would help smooth things.
