Thread: Steering Wheel Control Help

you could change the do action to turn on/off an output instead?

Sorry you lost me. Only reason I even know the do action is because of the other thread you linked me. I dont understand how people are writing configs without knowing the syntax. Is there a break down somewhere Ive missed?

Would debug show me if MDX is actually sending the keystroke?

Using the configurator.

Thanks. I'm fresh out of ideas.

Take a look at the attached file.

Specifically:

Code:

<do function="trigger output" functionTargetID="Blower Low" vote_opinion="on" vote_priority="medium"></do>

trigger an output instead of keypresses, for now

My way of testing my syntax is to load the file up in The configurator. Loading this config the configurator keeps getting a Unhandled Exception and crashes.

Anyone see the problem with the syntax? Haven't tested it it yet with the brain.

Tested with the brain. MDX will load with the config but doesn't function. Configurator on the other hand refuses to load the config.

The problem is somewhere in the Logic Declarations. At least thats where the configurator has the issues.

I've read over it 1000 times. The syntax looks good too me. Really not sure what I'm missing.

Code:

<boolean_operation type="greater than or equal or too">

is not the same as

Code:

<boolean_operation type="greater than or equal to">

for starters
