GTN750 with Knobster in AirManager: Request Config File

Featured Replies

Hi,

is it possible to use the GTN750 in Airmanager an Control the Knobs with the Knobster?

Best Regards

I could see from the video how to see the GTN integrated into an Air Manager panel, and to use the touchscreen,  but I couldn’t see how to configure the knobster for the rotary knobs on the GTN.  Did I miss something?

I can see in Air Manager there are G1000 and GNS430 overlays uploaded which have code to link knobs and through to X-Plane but there is no GTN750 equivalent.

When looking at the online doc:

https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=KnobXP

It is clear you can configure the Knobster to triggering any registered XP11 command. I guess making it working with the RXP GTN is just a matter of configuring a RXP GTN command to a Knobster input.

The RXP GTN commands are all documented in the RXP GTN User's Manual.

Ok thanks. Yes, I can see it is possible with some programming work, I was just wondering if someone had done that already like for the G1000. I guess not.

I've updated the topic title then so that it might be more obvious at first glance.

I tried experimenting with some code in Air Manager to do this, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

For example I use this code (with a single GTN750 in my setup as #1):

xpl_command("RXP/GTN/HOME_1")

Is that the correct syntax?  This in not having any result in the sim.  I set the "Use Simulator GPS Commands" in Xplane/GTN  Settings.  Also tried it without that set, same either way.

 

EDIT:  Sorry, I have it working now, I had failed to properly restart things.  Syntax is correct! Will carry on experimenting!

Thanks

You're making progress, great!

Please note "Use Simulator GPS Commands" like explained in the manual will intercept stock XPlane GPS commands and "reroute" them to the GTN. If you're using GTN own commands for the Knobster, this setting is unnecessary.

Ok understood, thanks.  I have a basic bezel working now with the two knobs and two buttons, all good.

Hello @uptimist1 - were you able to get this working for your reality XP GPS? I would like to do the same thing and was wondering if you might be able to help me. Thank you!
