Hi all ,

I’m from Tasmania,Australia, I have been building a 737-800 cockpit based on the PMDG Model over the last year , I have been trying to program my brake pressure gauge over the last couple of nights without success has anybody successfully done this if so could you please help with the config .

Any ideas would be mostly appreciated

Kind regards
Nathan

Hi.

Not do this already but it should be no problem.... All PMDG stuff will be possible i think.

Please just explane me whats the detailed problem.... then i will have a look on it.

EDIT: Offset 6578 Size 4 Byte Type: FLT32 Name: MAIN_BrakePressNeedle

Hi Pizman,

Thanks for the reply , Those settings are what i have used and ,the servo does not move,but it is making a humming sound ,any ideas ?

Kind Regards

Two possible problems...

1. Hardware issue.
Please confirm your servo workes ok and is set correct in Mobiflight.
Use the TEST Button in the Dsiplay tab of a Config or maby use the servo with a other function ( For example Gear)

2. Software issue.
If the Servo itself workes ok while testing but NOT in the PMDG Brake Gauge then simply your used settings in this Output config are wrong.

To Solve this.... ( I not do it so i give you just basic guides)

First figure out how the Offset value workes.... Find out the Range value can have... Lowest Point ( for example 0 ) Highest Point ( for example 400 ) And how is the value Full Numbers or a Decimal.... If Decimal how many decimal numbers (for example 1,234567 )

Then define those data in the Config.... Use the lowest and highest value in the Servo Settings for MIn and Max .
The Offset is a FLT32 so its pretty shure decimal. Those Values are a problem, too..... ( If i remeber right a Servo have problems with decimal raw data)
So you need to try out.... Maby you need to Multiply the value ( and round maby) so result is a full number.

Finaly Brake Pressure should be linear.... so a interpolation is not needed i think .

****
Please check this stuff...... Maby try out the multiply and rounding idea...... If no success please request here again.... Then i will make a testrun on my system and check the situation for you.

Awesome Thanks

i shall have a play with it and see what i can figure out

Kind Regards

Hey Pizman

I did have a crack on figuring it out and no luck ,

Greatly appreciate it
