How to obtain codes for example DED ENTR (F16) = 3016?

[iancoetzer]

Hi

Where do you obtain the codes?
For example the DED ENTR (F16) you have as code 3016.

When I look in the clickabledata.lua of the F16, the DED ENTR (F16) button code is 178?

Thank you.

I want to add additional buttons to your Java app to toggle switches such as auto pilot / main battery on/off , landing gear up down etc.

Aha, found this that lists most of the device IDs and also the codes ...

https://github.com/dcs-bios/module-f-16c-50/blob/master/F-16C_50.lua

Still curious where this was obtained...

I want to use your code to toggle switches such as the battery between the three states, 0=0ff, 1=batt, 2=main generator...

Another question, how to turn a knob via script?

I have managed to set the IFF to normal like this:
//IFF, set to Normal
commandArray.put(new JSONObject().put("device", "35").put("code", "3002").put("delay", "0").put("activate", "0.3")); //-1, 0, 1

But how would I set the HMCS turnable knob to say 50% brightness via similar JSONObject?

    //HMCS Knob, how to turn? This does  not work. 

commandArray.put(new JSONObject().put("device", "17").put("code", "3022").put("delay", "0").put("activate", "50")); //-1, 0, 1

Thank you

Hi Ian, what you're attempting does not feel like a great fit for The Way (IMHO). Have you rejected what https://github.com/HeliosVirtualCockpit/Helios/releases/latest can do for you?

Hi, the codes are from that DCS BIOS repo as you found out. For dials, I am not too sure but it should be similar to how the IFF switch is. By the way, if you are trying to make a startup sequence, best way is to change the built in DCS autostart lua file. I made my own version of that, the way I wanted it.

Hi, thank you for all the replies. I have just achieved the desired result with 'DCSTheWay'.

`
public static void coldStart(){

    JSONArray commandArray = new JSONArray();

    //Battery, set to Main Generator (-1=OFF, 0=BATT, 1=MAIN PWR)
    commandArray.put(new JSONObject().put("device", "3").put("code", "3001").put("delay", "0").put("activate", "1"));  

    //IFF, set to Normal (0=OFF, 0.1=STBY, 0.2=LOW, 0.3=NORM)
    commandArray.put(new JSONObject().put("device", "35").put("code", "3002").put("delay", "0").put("activate", "0.3"));  //0.1, 0.2, 0.3=NORM

    //HMCS Knob, turned to 50% brightness (0.5)
    commandArray.put(new JSONObject().put("device", "30").put("code", "3001").put("delay", "0").put("activate", "0.5")); 

    PortSender.send(commandArray.toString());
}`
