ExternalPower and Chocks Toliss

[daan_vb]

Hi Marco,

I'm trying to write the following datarefs but for some reason I can't get them to work, any chance you could try it on your end please? I'm not sure why they don't work...I can write to them manually using the Datarefs tool

 { CC = 74, type = "drf", dataref = "AirbusFBW/EnableExternalPower", value_off = "0" },
 { CC = 82, type = "drf", dataref = "AirbusFBW/Chocks", value_off = "0" },

Thanks

Hi, 

Sure, I will have a look later (right now cruising around Japan in the TBM). Could you also send me your XMidiCtrl_Log.txt, please? 

Many thanks!

Nice, Enjoy!

Log attached

Thanks

Hi Dan, 

There are quite a few errors in the log. Looks like it had problems reading the Dataref parameter. Can you please attach your toml file, as well? 

Thanks, 

Marco

Hi Dan,

Looking at your config file and the log, it's quite clear why it isn't working:

2022-02-04 14:34:09   [ERROR]   Line 183 ::   { CC = 74, type = "drf", dataref = "AirbusFBW/EnableExternalPower", value = "0" },
2022-02-04 14:34:09   [ERROR]    --> Parameter 'value_on' not found
2022-02-04 14:34:09   [ERROR]   Line 183 ::   { CC = 74, type = "drf", dataref = "AirbusFBW/EnableExternalPower", value = "0" },

For a dataref mappings you have to define the value_on and value_off parameter. Do you own two X-Touch? Sounds like a pretty cool setup.

Hope that helps,
Marco

Thanks Marco, that fixed it, its working now!

Yeah I have two X-Touches, one for autopilot and glareshield stuff and then another for radios and some overhead commands.
 

My very homebrew pedestal thing!

 

I also tidied up those errors with the toml file as well, but now I am getting an error that i wasn't getting before. This line has worked fine up until now but it has suddenly stopped the whole file from working at all:

 220 |   { cc = 11, cc = 31, type = "drf", dataref = "AirbusFBW/ExtPowOHPArray[0]", value_on = "2", value_off = "0" },

     |          ~~ value already exists here
 ...
 220 |   { cc = 11, cc = 31, type = "drf", dataref = "AirbusFBW/ExtPowOHPArray[0]", value_on = "2", value_off = "0" },

     |                   ~~ value defined twice

It isn't defined twice from what I can see! Any ideas? I've attached my latest toml and log

 

Thanks

 

Dan

Hi Dan, 

That's a very nice setup you are having there! 

You defined cc twice in line 220. I guess you wanted to define ch and cc (they look really similar, I have to admit that)

Urgh, I'm an idiot. Must have stared at that line for about 15 mins trying to figure it out! Thanks Marco
