Maybe I overlooked, after reading so many times I am probably "blind" :brickwall:
What are the variables to control
- compass indication
- liquid oxygen indication
- cabin pressure indication
all on the right AUX panel
???
Thanks!

Compass=yaw
Cabin pressure=cabinAlt
LOX: not in sharedmem

LOX: not in sharedmem
That would explain why Liquid Oxygen is not included in F4to Serial. Shame though.
I am using F4toSerial for the DED, most of the gauges and LEDs. I only need to read Total Fuel and Compass with an Arduino to power these last two instruments on my Right Aux. In F4toSerial you can only use separate 7-digit blocks for the total fuel display on the Total Fuel Quantity Indicator. I have a very small OLED display. And for the wet compass, I made my own solution based on a hint from an A-10 cockpit. Both options work very nice, if only I could somehow get these two values into an Arduino. But the thought of C-programming and Visual Studio... Even looking at GitHub and forks and those things makes my mind start to slowly melt. :-\ :sleepyeyed: :-[

@lightning : Thanks!
Cabin Pressure ... :DOH:
Compass ... yaw ... I had not made that connection :whistle:
LOX ... ::) An just for thát indicator I did a lot of work. Build a separate 115VAC 400 Hz power supply (input 24VDC), and a small stepper motor controller, mounted underneath the right side console. I did manage to get the real LOX indicator working, so I guess, I put the needle at some 4.2 at startup, and leave it there.
Adding a lot to the SharedMemoryTester and my "app", it's about time to see how my pit reacts :whistle: :bounce2:
@Snoopy : I also started with zero knowledge of "Windows Programming", C# and Visual Studio. It is simply learning by doing. However, I am still an amateur. Sometimes, to get things done, I save my work, close Visual Studio, and then start Visual Studio again. I certainly am still not comfortable navigating through all the panes, there are of course more clever ways than close/start again, but it gets the job done :D
Having done everything "my own way" makes that I have to do the last bits also "my own way" :reading:
