Helo Maarten,

 

There's some coding error in SL_G1000.lua in line 26 (missing bracket ')' ):

 

-- "Slave Server" example LUA plug-in, by Pete Dowson, October 2009

-- To make the Server FS act as a slave, following the Client FS acting as Master

 

-- The SOCKET module is built into FSUIPC, but is not active until "required"

local socket = require("socket")

 

-- Set the host name to the name of the PC running this Server

local host = "localhost"

 

-- The port must match the port selected in the client and not clash with others.

local port = "34568"

 

 

local function processdata(data)

-- decode string, format is lvarname,lvarvalue,isstring (0 or 1)

local index1 = 1

local index2 = string.find(data, ",")

local lvarname = string.sub(data, index1, index2 - 1)

index1 = index2 + 1

index2 = string.find(data, ",", index1)

local lvarvalue = string.sub(data, index1, index2 - 1)

local lvarisstring = string.sub(data, index2 + 1)

 

if lvarisstring == "1" then

for i = 1, 6 do

if (string.len(lvarvalue) >= i then             ////here exactly - error when parsing///

ipc.writeLvar("SLX_StringValue" .. i, string.byte(lvarvalue, i)

else

ipc.writeLvar("SLX_StringValue" .. i, 0)

end

end

else

ipc.writeLvar("SLX_" .. lvarname, tonumber(lvarvalue))

end

ipc.writeLvar("SLX_" .. lvarname .. "_Set", 1)

end

 

local server = assert(socket.bind(host, port))

local ack = "<EOF>"

while 1 do

    print("slx_fs9gps_server: waiting for client connection...")

    local control

if (server ~= nil)

control = server:accept()

else

control = nil

    if control ~= nil then

print("slx_fs9gps_server: client connected!")

while 1 do 

local data = control:receive()

if data == nil then

print("slx_fs9gps_server: client disconnected")

-- ipc.control(65794) -- Pause FS

break

end

else

local index = string.find(data, "<EOF>")

if index ~= nill then 

data = string.sub(data, 1, index - 1)

if data == "ping" then

assert(control:send("ping<EOF>"))

else

assert(control:send(ack))      

processdata(data)

end

end

end

end

    end

end

 

Best wishes,

Darek

 

Hi Darek,

 

Well spotted! Fortunately this .lua file is not yet used. Some GPS variables are missing in the SimConnect API and I will use this .lua file (together with the SLX_G1000.CAB gauge) to workaround this issue when I have made some more progress with the implementation of the G1000 PFD and MFD.

 

thanks, Maarten

Sounds clear for me

 

You're doing a fantastic job. Thanks for Your tremendous work, I really appreciate that a lot.

 

All the best,

Darek
