Hi all,
I've had success with passing data to flightgear, and found that the aileron and elevator expect a value between -1 and 1, and the throttle between 0 and 1. I have found this more by experimenting by trial and error, rather than actually finding out the required ranges documented anywhere....
The Docs/README.properties file lists some great properties to interact with, and gives the data type, but frustratingly, not the ranges.
Is there any way of examining the actual property tree to see the ranges of the properties values within Flightgear?
I'm now trying to read data via serial by an Arduino to operate some real cockpit indicators. First one I'm starting with is a Desynn type flap position indicator from a Hawker Hunter. I've written the code to successfully operate it by the Arduino, and documented how it works here: http://www.scottbouch.com/aircraft-cock ... ation.html
So far with the Hunter flap position indicator I can manually send it numbers from the serial monitor of Arduino IDE to move the pointer, and it works nicely.
Once I've learnt the ranges of the data coming from flightgear, I'll then try to sort out some sort of method in the Arduino of making sense of it and driving the indicator.
Cheers, Scott.
