Commande de volets, Potentiomètre ou switches ?

Messagede Cyrille01 » Dim 17 Fév 2013 14:42

Bonjour à tous,

J'envisage de coupler mon levier de volets à un potentiomètre linéaire rectiligne, puis de programmer des plages correspondant aux différentes positions; via FSUIPC.

Cette méthode à l'avantage d'économiser des entrées master et de limiter le cablage à 3 fils.

Quelqu'un a t'il déja essayé cela ? Est-ce que le fonctionnement sera aussi fiable qu'avec des micro-switches ?

Merci d'avance.

Cordialement. Cyrille

Sur la plupart des 737 full cockpit on emploie un simple potentiometre et on calibre l'axe.
Micro switch: beaucoup trop de fils et de mecanismes pour rien.
Le calibrage avec FSUIPC est super stable
Sur le mien j'utilise un lineaire.
. Ca marche impec.
J'ai fait un tuto (en anglais):
mise en garde en rouge
Section flaps en bleu

------------------------------------------------
First Plug in your TQ USB joystick card and make sure it appears in FS.
Beware FS will automatically assign some axis to that joystick when it recognizes it.
For that joystick:
DISABLE all Axis assignements in FS
Set Sensitivity to Maximum and Null zone to minimum
Reload FS and check that the Axis are effectively disabled.

1) Open FSUIPC Axis assignement page.
In the MOVE__LEVER line you should have one axis showing, if not, move a lever and see that it is identified.
On the left Check: Send direct to FSUIPC
Click on the first little box and in the scroll down menu assign the axis (throttle 1...or whatever you want.to)

Do not click OK ( OK only when all assignements and calibrations are done)
2) Go direct to the Joystick calibration page
Calibrate this axis (Read below Levers calibration)

When done go back to the axis assignement page
And repeat the same procedure1) 2) as above for another Axis, until all four axis are done.
The idea is to assign one axis and then calibrate it, assign another axix and calibrate it, and so on.
When all done click OK. This creates an ini. file in FSUIPC folder (make a backup of it somewhere else)
That's all folks!!

LEVER CALIBRATION:
Starting with the Separate throttle levers
Go to page 3
If you activate the reverse with a switch(recommanded) check the No Reverse box top left.
Click the reset box to start fresh, it now shows: Set (axis not processed.)
Click the Throttle one set button.
2 values appear: min max (if you get 3 it is because you did not check the No reverse box.)
Move the lever form idle to full and check that values ARE INCREASING. This is valid for all calibrations, otherwise you will get the "ding" sound.
If they are decreasing reverse your pot connection , easier than playing with the rev box.
Now, easy, put the lever at idle, click on the Min Set button
Put the lever at full , click on the Max Set button
DONE

Spoiler:
Goto page 6: Trim spoilers and flaps
3 colums, numbers have to increas when you move the lever towards you ( opposite from the Trottles)
Set left tab: lever full away from you
Set Middle tab: Armed position
Set right tab : lever full down towards you.

Flaps:
Check the little box :Dt
3 boxes appear.
Much easier than it looks: The idea is to define one ZONE for each setting to allow some margin in the lever exact position.
1)Check that numbers are increasing when going from Flaps up to Flaps down. If not invert pot.
IMPORTANT: On top of the flaps section you must see #0 , a small scroll box, #1, #2
if you play with the scroll box you see the two left numbers increase. We will use this to calibrate the notches.
MAKE SURE to bring back these two values to #1 , #2 by clicking the Cl (clear) button close to the Dt button.
Otherwise you will get the "Ding".

2) Move the lever to Up notch and bring it back a little bit towards you (a few millimeters)
Click the SET left Tab
3)Move the lever a little bit before the Full down
Click the SET right Tab
4)Now we will set the intermediate notches.

Move the lever close to the first notch
Click the middle Set button
Move the lever just after the first notch
Click again the middle Set button

Click the Up arrow of the little scroll box , numbers will be #2 #3
Move the lever close to the second notch
Click the middle Set button
Move the lever just after the second notch
Click again the middle Set button

Repeat..
If you goof, hit Cl and start the flaps again.
That's it
Jack
