MobiFlight Community Support

Good evening,

I'm trying to get the throttle and mixture binded to mobiflight. I am using an Arduino Uno. The propeller works fine but I read in the mod description following

Custom local variables:

Throttle axis
DUCKWORKS_THROTTLE1_SET
DUCKWORKS_THROTTLE2_SET

Mixture axis
DUCKWORKS_MIXTURE1_SET
DUCKWORKS_MIXTURE2_SET

What means this and what do I have to do?

I belive I am not the only poor guy with this question.

Hope someone could assist.

Regards

Lutz

This means that your AddOn Puplisher offer own Variables for these Systems.
You not need ( or can not) use the stock Variables from the Sim (Asobo generic) here.

Check the manuals and guides where you read this... Normaly they also show the expected Values.

Those Set variables can be used e.g. with a Potentiometer in Mobiflight. But we need to know what Value the Sim expect.
So does it go from 0-100 or from 1-16383 or from -5000 to + 12000 ??


Finally you open a new Input Config.... Choose FS2020 Simconnect .... And click on "Show Preset Code" .
There you can enter custom code ( i expect there exist no finishedPReset for your Duckworks AddOn)

In easy words... you must build this code by using the variables you talk about above.
Most easy way... Use the code from a other existing preset and just swap the original Variable with yours.
If the range is identical with the stock Sim range then it should work directly.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I considered the range of values as stock values for Mixture or Throttle. So I used i.e. the standard preset code for "Mixture_set" and adapted to my range as follows:

@ 15 - 16.253 * 0 max 16383 min (>KUCKWORKS_MIXTURE1_SET)

Is this what you mean?

But it's not working.

Funny. This chat Software create a Smilie instead of "D" .....

I think thats the way to go.... But Note its not a K Event !!! Its a LVar LocalVariable ... So use L instead of K

Custom local variables:

Throttle axis
DUCKWORKS_THROTTLE1_SET
DUCKWORKS_THROTTLE2_SET

Mixture axis
DUCKWORKS_MIXTURE1_SET
DUCKWORKS_MIXTURE2_SET

So it should be something like

Code:

@ 15 - 16.253 * 0 max 16383 min (>L:DUCKWORKS_MIXTURE1_SET)

That was the missing part of the puzzle!

Thanks a lot. You made my day. I don't know the difference between an "L" and a "K" but L for LVar sounds logical.

It's working well. Now I have just to finish my throttle quadrant.

Many thanks for your kind support. Wish you a nice evening.

Regards

P.S.: Indeed the D became a smiley How nice.
