Skino is a fantastic guy.... After i meet him i start with the cockpit stuff.... So we could say he was my "mentor"
To the Programm.
Here we got a little problem. Note, that Skinos programmes ( He alredy build a software for a Whiskey Compass. a Trim Indicator and lots of other stuff) are mostly "Standalone"
That means this is a full external System. The Element got a own Software ( runnig EXE)... The Arduinos are ONLY for this Element. So we can not Work via Mobiflight with this parts.
I must say here THIS is not a problem. Normaly we can use Mobiflight for the standard Elements and maby 1,2,3 or much more Programmes like this for special elements. The Communication between Simulator and all this specific Programmes "normaly" should not be problematic.
BUT:
Some Users not like this and prefer a solution to make everything possible with only ONE Programm ( Mobiflight for example).
And here in Skinos Tools there is a missing element.....
PLEASE... This is no criticism. I fully understand skinos intentions... He build this for own use... like he want it !
So for a integration into Mobiflight the "ADIRS by Skino" would need a "communication" with FSUIPC for the In and Outputs.
For Example the Input Switches and Buttons are all on his own Arduinos and talk direct to the Software. If we want to set this buttons via Mobiflight, we only can set Offsets with it. So Skinso tool would need to "observe" A Special Offset and if it change ( in case of a Mobiflight Button Input) then his software would execute the functions.
Same with the Display.... He export the LCD Data ( And LED i think) direct to his Ardiono where the Display is selected. If we want to set the Outputs via Mobiflight then Skinos software would need to "export" the Data to a free Custom Offset and NOT send it direct to the Hardware. So we can READ this Offset via Mobiflight !
Summary......
I Think his programms are fantastic and this guy do a incredible support! It´s technical no problem to use it parallel to Mobiflight i think. So i would recommend to use it !
Nevertheless it would be nice if we can get a code like this that NOT include any Hardware.... For Mobiflight Use we would only need the internal Code ( Maby in a Lua Script)
The setting of Buttons and Outputs then can be done conventionaly via Mobiflight or Gamecontroller
