Shared memory : Backup UHF on / off status
-
Hello Everyone !
I hope someone can help me. I am programming all my LED / servo cards for my cockpit, but there is one thing I cannot seem to be able to solve : the backup UHF on / off status.
I cannot find if that status is in the shared memory.
If it is, can someone point me to it ?
That would be really really appreciatedThanks !

AFAIK and I think I know sharedMem quite well there is no direct flag for it.
One idea might be to simulate an COM1 push and than read the DED Textlines from SharedMem as this would indicate the position of the UFC Switch as In Backup 3rd Line would state Backup.
If you are trying to get the Comms Switched if comms are switched on at all same issue as there is not bit flag in Sharedmem for that -
Thank you, you are confirming what I was seeing
Reading the DED line is a really good idea, thank you -

Hello Flow,
I’m currently working on my backup UHF panel with 7 Segment Displays (together with the CMDS panel).
I use both switches “Com1” from the Audio panel and “Main” from the “Backup UHF” as digital inputs on my arduino. And depending on the status the dispalys are driven or blanc.
Hope this helps a little.
Have a great evening.

Thanks for your feedback Tweety.
I don’t use any arduino though, and the cockpit will be fully directx programmed controller wise, so I cannot use your solution.
I’ll find a workaround
