Honeycomb Bravo interface

[Kockie69]

I have written an interface between Honeycomb Bravo and PSX.
The main reason I wrote this interface is to be able to use the reversers on the throttle Levers, but also to be able to use the leds.

The Bravo contains the following components (or this is how I called them):

-Throttle, these are the 4 levers, all of them with a reverser and one with a toga button.
-SpeedBrake, a lever that can be armed when put a a specific position.
-LandingGear, a lever with 3 leds (left, center and right).
-Flaps, a lever that can be put in positions up, 1, 5, 10, 20, 25 and 30.
-LedDisplay, a group of lighted texts that can be switched on and off.
-FMC, two rotaries (one unlimited) and 8 buttons with internal leds.
-Switches, 7 in total.


Except for the switches, all the components are pre programmed and can only be changed by me. The switches can be (with some limitations) configured by the user (you) so they can be used for whatever you want to use them for.

You can download the code from here.

There is a readme in the same folder with instructions and a more complete description about what is and isn't supported.

There are a couple of leds on the Bravo that I have not yet implemented. These are the following:

- Vacuum
- Low Volts

Any suggestions how to implement these (what vars and when the led should be illuminated) welcome.

Wow- so appreciated- thanks! I do not use Honeycomb (PFC) but am grateful for all the efforts from the community keeping our 747 constantly updated and relevant.

This looks perfect. Thank You so much.
My only problem is that I have no idea how to implement and install it!
Please could you help me.
Thank You.

to your computer and double click the Honeycomb.jar file.

Just an FYI, I get a Java exception error when I try to run it.

[Kockie69]

If you want me to fix it, you need to post the exact message. This doesn't really give me much information.

Hi Robert,

First of all, thank you very much for your excellent Honeycomb Bravo interface for PSX. I am using it on a Mac and it works very well.

I have a specific customization question regarding the Flaps lever.

In my simulator setup I already have a dedicated control for the flaps, so I don't need to use the physical Flaps lever on the Honeycomb Bravo for that purpose.

I would therefore like to reuse that lever for Rudder Trim Left / Rudder Trim Right.

The behaviour I would need is momentary:

holding the lever in one direction → Rudder Trim continuously moves Left;
holding it in the opposite direction → Rudder Trim continuously moves Right;
releasing/returning the lever to its neutral position → the trim stops moving.

I understand that the Flaps lever is currently pre-programmed and cannot be configured through config.properties.

Would it be possible to modify the interface to use the Flaps lever in this way? Alternatively, could you indicate which part of the source code would need to be modified?

Thank you very much for your help!
