Hola buenas noches,

Alguien podría compartir un Tutorial de como es la configuración tanto del XPUIPC como la del mobiFlight para X - Plane 11.

Enserio se agradecería demasiado.



Have you seen this tutorial?

I realise this is an older post, hopfully i can still get an answer.

I have followed along and got my own annunciator and switch working, But can anyone shed any light on a 7 segment display? I've tried a few different ways but it just reads 000.000 all the time, it may be wrong but heres what i have in XPUIPCoffsets.cfg

Dataref com1standbyfrequency sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com1_standby_frequency_hz float
Offset 0x6001 FLOAT32 1 rw $com1standbyfrequency

Hi

At first find out if your Display is the problem (Hardware) or the Offset (Software)

Simply Open a new file..... Create a Output Config ..... Choose the Display you like to use from Devices ...... Go to "Display Tab" .
Here you select all 8 Checkmarks for all Diggits in use.
Then klick on TEST.
If Display work fine then it must show now "12345678"

- If it show that, but your Output in other config not work, then we have a Software Problem ( Wrong Config entrys OR Wrong Data by XPUIPC for your AddOn Aircraft.

- If it show nothing or 88888888 or stupid things instead of 12345678 THEN Your Display (Hardware) is the Problem.
In that case check solderwork for the Pins on left and right side. Also check if you done the Setup ( Settings/devices/Mobiboards) correct.
Good Luck !

Hi

Thanks for info, I fixed the problem by changing float to int in the offsets config

Hi. Thank you for a great tutorial, which I agree takes up a lot of our time.
I was a Microsoft FS, in a PMDG737 with Mobiflight running my home made MCP via Events which was perfect.
When I moved to XP11 and Zibo I had to drop my MCP as I could never get it running. So your tutorial is exactly what I need.
After a few hours I got the parking brake running with a data ref Dataref ParkBrake ;; sim/flight_controls/brakes_toggle_max int
offset 0x0BC8 UINT8 1 rw $ParkBrake
Now I have spend a day trying to get the AutoThrottle running but with no joy.
Tried a data ref.... no joy, moved to a command... no joy. Here is where I am
CFG File
Zibo Auto Throttle
#Dataref AutoThrottleArm laminar/B738/autopilot/autothrottle_arm_toggle int
#Offset 0x6501 UINT8 1 rw $AutoThrottleArm
Command 0x6501 UINT8 1 0 laminar/B738/autopilot/autothrottle_arm_toggle _
1 1 laminar/B738/autopilot/autothrottle_arm_toggle
Mobiflight
Offset 0x6501 Value Type = Int Bytes = 1 Set Value = 1 (and 0 in release)
.....any direction you can give is most appreciated





Would you be willing to give out your XPUIPC Offsets for the Zibo. I’m trying to learn but just not getting it and would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Hey mate,

Sorry for not replying, I actually left using Mobi for XP-11, but anyway you can find the all dataref & commands in the main folder of where Zibo is installed. Just print them and use.

Howdy Gents,
I am trying to make the GRD PWR switch move with Mobiflight and the Sim provided 730-800 NG (not the ZIBO mod). I can't find any reference to this switch in the PDF documentation provided. Am I trying to do the impossible since there is no assigned OFFSET for this switch?

I tried using this in the config file to no results: Command 0x534D UINT8 1 0 sim/Cockpit/toggle_switch/GRD_PWR _
1 1 sim/Cockpit/toggle_switch/GRD_PWR

it is my understanding that the OFFSET I chose is available to use. I am not sure if I have the syntax for the rest of the statement correct. What I want the switch to do isturn Ground Power on and leave it on when I move a switch to the ON on the overhead panel. The Ground Power should stay on until the switch on the overhead is moved to the OFF position.

Mobi flight is configured to provide a "1" on press and a "0" on release. when I provide the switch closure I can see the Arduino communicate with the PC but alas nothing happens in the Sim

I was under the impression that if there was no assigned OFFSET that the Command" would create an assignment.

Do I need to get the ZIBO model for this to work?

Your thoughts, concerns, and or criticisms are deeply appreciated.

Another question: Is it possible to combine the control of multiple switches and annunciation lights into one offset reference?
