GF-166 and GF-P8

Alek · January 2016

Hello,

I have an simconnect error (yellow light) when trying to set a button event on a GF-P8 :
I set a GF-P8 button to the following event : GF166_CONTROL_TOGGLE1_2 to be able to swap between NAV1 and NAV2 on the GF-166. Then, when i push the button nothing happens and a yellow light comes on on GIT and in the log i have the following message :
Simconnect: exception received: error.
Same thing happen when setting this event on a GF-RP48 button to control the GF-166

Thanks for your Help,

Alekcei

Hi Alek,

That event was written to support the button press from the GF166 device itself. I will have to check the code to see if it will work from other devices. I suspect it won't because how will GIT know which GF166 device you are referring too.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply, effectively, this event works well with the gf166 itself, i was wondering if it can works on the P8 to control function switch(nav/com) on only one Gf166. I have just 1 gf166.

Thank you,

Alek

Hi Alex,

I have checked the code and unfortunately it uses the device sending the event to determine which GF166 needs toggling.
