Servo Controller in a Flight Simulator

Support Servo controllers and servos
1

Hi there,

I’m trying to use the servo controller to drive the needles of various instruments for my Flight Simulator for our Gliders Club

The Flight Simulator I use has a UDP Output where certain values like speed and altitude are transmitted. I would like to “connect” this UDP port to my Servo controller. Is there any existing software the can be used for this connection or does anyone have an idea where to start.

Here is a small extrace from the UDP output

time=12.0182509988113
airspeed=25.1829662322998
altitude=938.597961425781
vario=-0.544863879680634
evario=-0.54317718744278
nettovario=-0.053302526473999
integrator=-0.385196328163147
compass=141.085952758789
turnrate=0.427897453308105
yawstringangle=0.0269183553755283
radiofrequency=123.5
yaw=2.46241450309753
pitch=-0.00811242777854204
bank=0.337735295295715

Thanks for any kind of help.

Best Regards

Hello,

I don’t know of such a program already existing. If you’re getting the strings you posted, it seems like it should not be too difficult to parse them and get the numbers out. You’ll need to figure out the range of them, and then you can rescale them to get the right range of values for sending to the servo controller (about 1000-5000 for getting 180-degree rotation using absolute position mode).
