Question Sim tools network interface for SC-MBOX

Yeah need a lift to start otherwise movement is very violent when cockpit jumps to center position. And for shutdown a lower to zero, not so much for timeouts, but when you end a session to lower cockpit for user to exit.

Ahh that would do it As I set my password to 00 00 for testing.

@yobuddy can we get a password variable in new interface plugin

The issue with parking is it doesn't help when testing interface. If test interface had an initial position enum or initial axis value field so you could set initil test axis values -100 - 100 that then lerp 0. Just like if axis is not zero and you stop testing they lerp to 0 currently

Passcode is second set of bytes. 55 aa 00 00 where 00 00 is pass code. I reprogramed my passcode to 00 00 for testing but that is preventing me from setting other variables. Would be nice to have passcode var instead of requiring programming hardware to match 00 00

Just using packet sniffer I figure "Max Value" var will rest somewhere between 260000 and 300000. However It is very violont and hard on the rig when it jumps to center when datar starts from test interface so I havent tested on hardware yet. Was hoping to talk you into lerp to center or start up command.

Now that I can change vars a again I will try to find center ish for when servos power on and I can test from there. Will be trying some things in an hour or 2.

Thanks looks great. Installed fine after I manualy removed old again and restarted simToolss pre and post install.

Got an output issue somewhere between axis value 25 to 35 and same -25 to -35.

I am moving just axis1a and watching its value. Sweeping 25 -35 I am seeing axis hex

00 02 f5 47
00 02 fb 1a
00 00 03 ed
00 03 06 c1

So the piston is hovering above mid point, then drops out and jumps back when sweeping 25 - 35 range. Again this behavior is also mirrored on -25 to -35

Edit: Data ouput update. Max Axis Value Var = 298250 output:
Axis value 31 = 00 02 fb 1a
Axis value 32 = 00 00 03 ed
Axis value 33 = 00 03 06 c1

Found my happy max with variable Max Axis Value being 298250 corresponding to 00 04 8d 0b at axis 100. At 29900 I can hear it bottom out when I max output. At 298500 I can just get it to hit when driving hard from 50 to 100 axis value.

Passcode variable send incorrect info but turns out to be unnecisary. Value of 3721 sends hex 0e 89 instead of 37 21. However interface hardware is happy to play axis position with no password and just supplying 00 00. So the complication of sending a passcode can be ignored.

After sweeping the full axis range one value at a time multiple times here are the issue vaules I found. Each time the problem value drops significanlty from its neighbour values.

Interface Max Axis Value = 298250

Axis -11 = 00 02 06 71
Axis -12 = 00 00 02 9e
Axis -13 = 00 01 fa cb

Axis -55 = 00 01 06 22
Axis -56 = 00 00 01 4f
Axis -57 = 00 00 fa 7c

Axis 31 = 00 02 fb 1a
Axis 32 = 00 00 03 ed
Axis 33 = 00 03 06 c1

Do not confuse config password with access password, sending 00 00 in the request is the access password and FN 008 is the config password which should be 3721 unless you want it to be something else.

Yeah non of the documenttation I have dug up states anything about passwords. The only reason I know of Fn 008 function is your and @pmneo 's posts

Already set as Eng US on win 10


Latest plugin update works great, at least for 3 axis, i cant test 6. Still has drop out on specific values listed in previous post.

Seems to be working as intended. Swept the full range on each axis and it was smooth. Ran a lfs circut and didnt hear any issues (rig is in living room, I am in office running game). Just picked up some salvage pcs and hoping to get a laptop running tonight so I can test rig in same room.

Oh FYI settings do not save for interface until simTools has been restarted post install. Also post plugin install auto detect games does not work until restart.
