Comport not showing in USO

I have my Arduino plugged in a the Comport 2 is showing in device manager.

I can use the arduino Serial Viewing to talk to my device but it is not showing in the USO..

I have closed all other programs down to make sure its not locked.

Also when I get it working, is there a way to send it test values from the Profiler?

ok i set mine to com port 15 and at 9600,8,noparity,onestopbit.
ok must set uso's to 8 bit resolution
decimal output.
and value = (value/1*1)+0 because it read values between 1-255.
ah a code is need for the ard to read what xsim sending it but if ya familar with serial communication with the ard its quite easy to write one up. Still stuck i can find time tomorrow to write ya one to capture values from xsim and send them back ya need a port capture program running to see what its sending back because once xsim is connected to it the ports lock only xsim can send to it, hint check my dashboards out there code there ya can butcher and create a test code, or just send me a request and i will try to find some time works busy right now, doing plenty of overtime and quite fried by the time i get home.

Hi stowaway

Did you try to add the comport manually in the USO tab? Type \\.\COM2 into the First find one free comport and add it to the list:-field and press Add comport to list-button. Make sure to remove any unnecessary comports in the datapack section via Remove comport button! Probably this solves your problem.

There is a TestPlugin in the Force Sender (under Choose official developer plugin). When you select this plugin an additional tablet opens, where you can simulate game input:

Still need code for ard to written and uploaded or it will sit there and do nothing???
But all info right on com port but uso set wrong.

8bit resolution,
decimal output
9600, 8, Noparity,onestopbit

datapackets for ard i have found like my dashboards you need to send a charater then the value. ie R~a01~.
So in your code on the arduino it finds the character then follows on to read the values and assigns to the varaible R represents, and so on.

plus what version of xsim is that havent seen that title Works.
What are we missing. mmm

Seems to be sending 49 and 50.

ive only recorded the first 512 bytes as thats all the space I have to record.
ive linked the USO to a 1:1 g-force to the fist axis and started the test sender.
I use ~a01~ to send the first axis, but it only seems to be 49,50,49,50 ....

does that sound right?

Can you post a printscreen of your USO screen? Which slider are you moving? And what's the math setup you're using? Are the values 49,50 even when you start (Start button in profiler) the profiler *after* having moved the slider?

I'll hook up a LCD and write the values to there and get back to you

Just a quick note the arduino can only recieve one character at a time so ya need to format your code correctly to read what you are sending ie a code snippet from my dashboard.

************************* code snippet ************************************
void loop(){
//****************************** READ DATA FROM SERIAL ******************************
while (Serial.available() > 0)
{

kind_of_data = Serial.read();
if (kind_of_data == 'R' ) Read_Rpm();


}
}


//****************************** READ DATA FROM SERIAL END ******************************


void Read_Rpm(){

int Rpm = 0;
delay(2);
int Rpm100 = Serial.read();
delay(2);
int Rpm10 = Serial.read();
delay(2);
int Rpm1= Serial.read();

Rpm100 = ((Rpm100)-48)*100;
Rpm10 = ((Rpm10)-48)*10;
Rpm1 = ((Rpm1)-48)*1;
if (Rpm10 < 0 && Rpm1 < 0){Rpm100 = Rpm100/100;Rpm10 = 0;Rpm1 = 0;}
if (Rpm1 < 0){Rpm100 = Rpm100/10;Rpm10 = Rpm10/10;Rpm1 = 0;}

Rpm = Rpm100+Rpm10+Rpm1;
*********************************************************************************************

Axis info i am sending via xsim is R~a01~ (~a01~ is a value of 1-255) as you can see above the arduino pickup the R charactor then invokes the ReadRpm procedure to read the single values coming from xsim then reformats these values back to a full figure , so once R is found it reads the next values ie 1 ,0 ,0 until it finds a charactor and reformats it back too 100 then returns to the loop.

Hope that helps ya.
The Arduino is a little tricky to setup but once ya done it once it becomes quite clear on how to handle the data.
