Viperpits does not go full throttle... we go FULL AFTERBURNER!!
Don't want to be rude, but this is a F4ToPokeys Thread, not AIC
He already has it done. We've been using it for a while.
@Red Dog Sorry.. Reading your post again I realized I was just reiterating what you already wrote.. Maybe I should wake up first before I post. lol
yes and moreThe 4 branches indeed have their own bit and the gear solenoid was added amongst other features.I guess Falcas will have to update his website with the newest version of AIC. Don't know when he plans to do that.I'm sure it will be done when he actually also update WDP and MC which haven't been updated for 4.35 public as far as I know
I started it on a general viewpoint regardless of the config used there is no need to be exclusive
4.35 has a solenoid status bit in the shared memory.The real solenoid can receive power from this bit, thus simulating a solenoid failure.The Down lock release button is easy. All you need is plunger switch inside the gear box.
http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?topic=537.msg180750#msg180750in that post I explain how it should work,, that's a start to understand how to wire it.I intend to use a relay to drive the solenoid bit from the sharedmem.and I intend to use another relay to interface the WOW bit.The think that blocks me for now is how to implement a mechanical override of the solenoid without a real mechanical system in our gearbox. I hope this is addressed by software rather than making mandatory for us to build a mechanical override.I am sure more experienced ppl in electronics could come up with something to lead us amateurs on the right track
