Software to Convert FSUPIC to RS232 or RS485

This software is freeware and is intended for use with our control boards.
Microlight sim builders are free to use it for their own sims.
Please e-mail:using the link above to request a copy.

The Software is used to convert a registered or unregistered version of Peter Dowsons excellent FSUIPC software interface, to an RS232 or RS485 output signal for many of the instruments.

The present set of instruments catered for are:

Gauge	Type	Gauge	Type
CHT	Rankin (R)	RPM	Actual (A)	This set of Instruments and Gauges will be added to from time to time. If you would like a particlar instrument added please email using the link above.
	Celsius (C)		Period (P)
	Farenheit (F)	ASI	Feet (F)
EGT	Rankin (R)		Meters (M)
	Celsius (C)	VSI	Knots (K)
	Farenheit (F)		Mph (M)
OIL T	Rankin (R)	ALT	Feet (F)
	Celsius (C)		Meters (M)
	Farenheit (F)	FUEL	0 to 100%
WATER	Rankin (R)	INFLIGHT	Close (C)
	Celsius (C)		Open (O)
	Farenheit (F)	FLYDAT Version	0-1
OIL P	PSI (P)	COMPASS	TBA
	BAR (B)	BATTERY	ANALOG (A)
			DIGITAL (D)

Overview
Each instrument is scanned at a fixed time Interval and added to a RS232 signal String.
This string is in the form of:Z12?4112;5678crlf

where 'Z' indicates the start of the message
cr lf indicates the end of the message
The other characters maybe 0123456789:;<=>?
The first character '1' represents the ASI control
The next character '2' represents the first value 2
The next character '?' represents the second value 15
The ASI control is a 3 byte control so the total value is (2*16)+15=47 of a total of 256
which is 18.4% of 140mph (gauge max) or 26mph

The next character '4' represents the ALT control
The next character '5' represents the first value 1
The next character '1' represents the second value 1
The next character '2' represents the third value 2
The next character ';' represents the fourth value 11
The ALT control is a 5 byte control so the total value is (((1*16)+1)*16+2)*16+11=4379ft
