BcdWheel

Class Name

BcdWheelT

Description

Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) switch used for numeric entry.

Standard Template Name

BcdWheel

Constructor

BcdWheelT(const char* msg, char pinA, char pinB, char pinC=0, char pinD=0)

• msg - The message to send to DCS when the value is changed.
• pinA - The pin connected to the Least Significant Digit.
• pinB - The pin connected to the second Least Significant Digit.
• pinC - [OPTIONAL] The pin connected to the third Least Significant Digit, expanding the range from 4 to 8.
• pinD - [OPTIONAL] The pin connected to the fourth Least Significant Digit, expanding the range from 8 to 16.

Template

template <unsigned long pollIntervalMs = POLL_EVERY_TIME>

• pollIntervalMs - Time in milliseconds between times this control should be sampled. Increase for less time sensitive controls to lower the CPU load required for this control.

Example 1

DcsBios::BcdWheel iffMode1Wheel1("IFF_MODE1_WHEEL1", 25, 24, 21); // IFF Mode-1 Wheel 1 on pins 25, 24 and 21 for digit bits 0, 1 and 2 respectively.

Example 2

typedef DcsBios::BcdWheelT<200> LowPriorityBcdWheel; // A custom BCD control that will use less cpu on each loop LowPriorityBcdWheel("IFF_MODE3A_WHEEL4", 42, 43, 44);
