Public Functions

Type Name
NeedleGauge (uint16_t controlId, uint16_t mask, MotorDriver & motor, const GaugeCal & cal)
Construct and register a pointer gauge.
virtual void configure () override
Configure and home the motor ( PanelGroup::setup() ).
virtual void onControlPacket (uint16_t controlId, uint16_t value) override
Retarget the motor from a CTRL_BCAST packet. Stores only — never steps here.
virtual void update () override

function NeedleGauge

Construct and register a pointer gauge. 

OpenSkyhawk::NeedleGauge::NeedleGauge (
    uint16_t controlId,
    uint16_t mask,
    MotorDriver & motor,
    const GaugeCal & cal
)

Parameters:

  • controlId DCS-BIOS output address (A_4E_C_* from A4EC_OutputIds.h).
  • mask Field mask (A_4E_C_*_AM, or 0xFFFF for a whole-word gauge).
  • motor Caller-owned MotorDriver (e.g. a StepperMotor). Must outlive this.
  • cal Value→position calibration. Must outlive this.

function configure

Configure and home the motor ( PanelGroup::setup() ).

virtual void OpenSkyhawk::NeedleGauge::configure () override

Implements OpenSkyhawk::OutputBase::configure

function onControlPacket

Retarget the motor from a CTRL_BCAST packet. Stores only — never steps here. 

virtual void OpenSkyhawk::NeedleGauge::onControlPacket (
    uint16_t controlId,
    uint16_t value
) override

Parameters:

  • controlId Incoming packet controlId. Ignored if != _controlId.
  • value Raw 16-bit DCS-BIOS value.

Implements OpenSkyhawk::OutputBase::onControlPacket

function update

Advance the motor toward its target (non-blocking). 

virtual void OpenSkyhawk::NeedleGauge::update () override

Implements OpenSkyhawk::OutputBase::update
