It's this wonderful device that lets you talk to people in a different place. ;D OK, sorry... Really it's just so I don't have to get out of my SimPit when a call comes in. It's a bit awkward crawling in and out. Robb

Sad to say, I didn't get a chance to look at the code. I intend to...if I can ever find a good stretch of free time without interruptions... darn near impossible with my life. Robb

Moach, what dev environment are you using? VC++ express? Will 2010 work or are you using 2008? Robb

Moach, I'm going on travel all next week, so I'll be completely free in the evenings. i might be able to put some time into the button emuneration routines. Robb

I myself want to add button to function/key mapping because I'm using an MJoy16 on my SimPit. If I could ever find some free time, I plan on adding those features. Moach and I have been discussing that a small amount. Harass me occasionally and I will be more inclined to add those features. Robb

I believe the scram engines are accessible via the XR API. But the 2010 version doesn't seem to include the SDK stuff. So, it may be broke in the 2010 or maybe Doug just hasn't gotten around to releasing it yet. But it shouldn't be too hard to include that feature. I'll play with that if I...

How about swapping the function and number. It'll read a little nicer. button 1 main+ button 2 retro button 3 rcsmode Another feature, which could be added later, would be configuration profiles. Profile Docking button 1 transx+ button 2 transx- Profile Descent button 1 prograde button 2...

OK, got a working dialog box ready for the setup utility... not exactly hard... just cleaned up the DialogTemplate sample. Moach, any ETA on posting the files? No rush if they're not ready. Just curious. Robb

I'll start some work on it during lunch. Moach, can I get a copy of the config file? I'm assuming you'll still want to use the config file as is, just have a GUI to modify it, right? Robb

I don't think an MFD is appropriate since an MFD is part of the simulation and this utility is outside the simulation. Rather, a setup dialog that you'd launch from the Custom Menu. That'll get you your "in-orbit" config changes, plus, it allows for standard windows dialog programming. This I...

Seriously though, I'd love to help. I've done a small amount of Orbiter Programming. Perhaps I could work on some parts of it, like the MFD functions I was talking about. Robb

Any idea when you'll be releasing something? Let me guess, Tuesday. :dry: Robb ---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ---------- Also, do you plan on incorporating any of the XR vessel functions? Robb

:hail: You need any beta testers? Can you add a feature to map joystick buttons to the MFD buttons? Look at: oapiProcessMFDButton(MFD_LEFT,x,PANEL_MOUSE_LBDOWN); where x = 0 - 11 for the twelve MFD buttons. MFD_RIGHT too, of course. The Mouse Event flag works, but has a minor bug such...

That probably won't work. The DI and DO on an SD card are unidirectional. The D+ and D- for USB are bidirectional. The power may be a concern, but the only real power draw would be the current through the analog pots and the microcontroller consumption. Both of which are far less than the...

Excellent. Did you use 3.3V zeners or 5.1V? And the rest was built according to the MJoy16 schematic? If you do encounter any problems in the future, please post them. How's your project working with Orbiter? Got it all tweaked and the buttons assigned, etc? Robb

The controls of my SimPit are based upon the MJoy16 circuit. I've built 3 of them and when they work, they work very well. However, I believe the circuit is flawed. The fact that it is based upon a hack to make it work with USB means that it is flawed from the beginning. But, looking at the...

How's that working out for you? Robb

Use the combined axis tab. That'll let you use individual buttons as an "axis". Assign one button to the positive control and one to the negative control. I did that and it works well. Robb

Yes, haven't decided on the color. Spaceship grey? Paint's cheap, but I'm broke. It's going to have to wait about another 3 weeks. I prefer to eat. I'm going to have to pull all the panels off and paint under them. That's going to be a pain, but must be done. I didn't get new pictures up...
