Shared memory bits

That's awesome information!
I will update F4ToPokeys with these. Right now it looks like they are blinking way too fast.

What would be the milliseconds for these:
OuterMarker: Morse T
MiddleMarker: Morse A
InnerMarker: Morse E

The frequency doesn't depend on the aircraft, it's what's transmitted by the beacon.

From this audio clip seems to be 2Hz, I don't know if middle and inner are the same though

They are different

[Nikolas_A]

Seems like:
Outer: 2Hz
Middle: 1.3Hz
Inner: 4Hz

[jjbravo]

Thanks. I always thought the SEARCH blinked too fast in F4TP which is now confirmed.

Correction on the TWP Mode indicator, it is 4Hz. Quote from TO 1F-16CMAM-34-1-1 BMS manual:

This lamp will also flash at 4Hz in PRIORITY mode and the RWR is tracking more than 5 radar sources painting ownship.

I use Beta Innovations hardware (and F4IM software) which does not have the ability to flash outputs directly (unless I've overlooked something - which is possible  ).  I use a pretty straight forward circuit with a 555 timer, transistor, and relay (in some cases) for any outputs required to flash.  One input to the timer circuit (from my LO-HV64 output board) says the light should be on and another circuit input from the output board says it should also be flashing.  Really the best fix I could come up with for my real primary and aux TWS.  I just adjust the 555 timer's capacitor and resistor to determine the flash rate.  If that helps anyone, I think I can post a diagram.

Details are now in the attached document. There are two sheets: The first sheet contains the lightbits from flightData.h in chronological order. The second sheet contains only the indicators and has them ordered by panel.
Feel free to correct any errors and add relevant details.

   WOW (not Weight On Wheels  )

That is a great sheet    downloaded 

Gonna compare what I did in my software with this list!

Information that I have not (yet) figured out is how, for example, "roll" (ADI and SADI) is represented.
As there is surely arithmetic in the simulator, I assume or starters that the angles are expressed in radians.
But how?  From 0 to 2*PI , or from -PI to +PI   And which "position" represents "0"

[Moon]

You are correct @henkie, roll is represented in radians.

This is something I had to work out for my SADI design.  The roll data is +/- 3.14 in roll, i.e. it never exceeds 180 degrees (it goes negative past 180, i.e inverted).  @jjbravo kindly added degree values to F4toPokeys which made it easier to interface.

[henkie]

@Moon thanks!

So, I have to modify my code     I assumed for SADI roll a range of 0 to 2PI.

I guess the guys of BMS work consistently: SADI pitch, ADI roll & pitch are also -PI .. +PI
