AGC Decoder MFD made by Lua script
«

June 11, 2012, 12:39:16 AM »
Hi,
I made a new MFD module which can decode AGC computer data (V16NXX monitor decimal in R1, R2 and R3) and convert for example SI units, and display the alarm codes and description of it (V05N09 display octal component 1, 2, 3 in R1, R2, R3). You can see the screen layout of MFD of prototype in attachment.
More interesting, however, that this script was written in Lua. I have extended the NASSP module by LUA API calls. I found a solution of the real-time debugging ways of it.
If someone is interested in this topic ask any question for details.
Best regards,
George

Hi Jose,
I put into the CVS the LUA API changes in source: saturn.cpp, saturn.h, connector.cpp, connector.h,
It has been a new MFD directory in Config directory which includes the AGCDECMFD.lua source.
Plese write if you have any problem this LUA environment.
PS: I repaired the download link. You can access the AGCDECMFD.zip file now, which includes the compiled binary files and lua source
Best regards
Schneci

Hi Schneci,
thanks a lot for your efforts!
I'd like to play a little bit with the LUA stuff, but I have 2 remarks/requests at first:
You changed the VC2010 project files because of the LUA libs, which is fine. But you changed them only for debug configuration, not for release configureation, so that the affected projects don't link in debug configuration anymore. Could you fix that?
You reference this script in code:
luaL_dofile (L, "..\\A7\\luatest\\init.lua");
but I didn't find it neither in CVS nor in your download zip?
...and would you mind to add the remaining files of your work (i.e. lua scripts, cfg files etc.) to CVS, too?
Thanks in advance

Hi Tschachim,
I have fixed the release configuration of VC2010 project files.
I have deleted the init.lua line from Lua_InitInterpreter method of saturn.cpp. It was only test purpose, I forgot delete it. Thank you for your attention
I already put the MFD and other init lua script into the CVS the following place. Please check it:

Thanks, it builds fine now.
The added files are missing in CVS (see here:
http://nassp.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nassp/projectApolloConfig/MFD/
), because you need to do a "CVS Commit" of the directories with the added files (i.e. MFD and Script). After that's I should get it working.
To be honest, I'd like to refactor/rename the new functions a little bit, for example prefix the functions with "Lua_" / "LuaSaturn_" to make it clear that this are the Lua/Luahelper functions. Also I'd like to change for example "prog" to "pressprog", "inlink" to "uplink" and things like this to make it more clear what the functions do, no functional changes. I'm aware of that I need to change the lua scripts according to that.
But before I start to change your work, I'd like to ask if this is fine for you and/or if I just shall tell you what I'd like to have changed and you do it or if you don't want to have changed anything at all...
Cheers

Hi Tschachim,
I have issued the CVS commit and I think now you can see the MFD and Script directory.
Feel free to change the names, but let me know when you're done because I would like to update my site.

I almost got it running, but it looks like I'm missing the "bit" module:
Lua syntax error: Config/MFD/AGCDECMFD.lua:5: module 'bit' not found:
no field package.preload['bit']
no file '.\bit.lua'
...
I tried it with the lua.dll from
http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/
in my Orbiter root folder, but no luck:
Lua syntax error: error loading module 'bit' from file '.\bit.dll':
...so I'd need some advice...

Hi Tschachim,
Try to copy to Orbiter root directory the following items from "Program Files\Lua\5.1\" directory:
"clibs\mime" full directory
"clibs\socket" full directory
"lua\socket\" full directory
"lua\mime.lua" file
"lua\socket.lua" file
"clibs\bit.dll" file (it is used by bit mask functions)
above items are used by remote debugger only.
I hope after this it will work fine.
Cheers
Schneci

I got it working, bit.dll and lua51.dll from
http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/
need to be in the Orbiter root folder. I'll include both files in the next beta.
I did the following changes:
geterasable is renamed to get_agcerasable
inlink is renamed to set_agcerasable
isuplink is renamed to get_agcuplinkstatus
getchannel to renamed to get_agcchannel
Arguments, returns and functionality are the same. I changed AGCDECMFD.lua according to that (and removed the hardcoded paths and vessel name).
I introduced a couple of new functions:
set_panelswitch(name, state) sets the switch by name
get_panelswitch(name) returns the state of a switch
set_panelswitch_flashing(name, flash) enables/disables the flashing yellow border to highlight a switch
get_panelswitch_flashing(name) returns if a switch is highlighted that way
In the attached screenshot "lua1" the SC CONT switch is toggled and then highlighted via Lua terminal as an example.
These functions do the same as they do when controlled by ProjectApolloChecklistMFD, so you can control and highlight pretty much every switch on the CSM panels.
"prog" is now set_panelswitch("DskySwitchProg", 1), "switch(state)" is set_panelswitch("ModeSwitch", state), so I removed them.
This way scripts can be written to toggle switches, for example to help people with the procedures.
As an example I attached a simple script doing the DSKY lamp test, lamptest.lua. When placed in the Script folder, it can be called with run("lamptest") in the Lua terminal, see "lua2" screenshot.
What we now would need is a list of all switch names, I won't have the time to do that (hint: they can all be found in Saturn::InitSwitches in saturnpanel.cpp
), many of them occur in Doc\Project Apollo - NASSP\Checklists\Apollo 7 Checklists.xls or CSM Default Checklists.xls, which helps hopefully.
Thanks again for doing that, schneci, I always wanted to have Lua support and never had the time to do it.
If my changes are fine for you, I'd like to do a wiki page similar to your page for documenation.
Cheers

Hi Tschahim
Thanks for your effort. It is fine. I have checked out your changes and I looked it. I think is this a good concept (new switch handle functions).
You mentioned that, have to make a list of switch names. My question is, which purpose and what kind of format have to make it? If you will describe it, I will try to do it.
PS: I think you forgot to put lamptest.lua script into the Script cvs directory!
Best regards
Schneci

While doing that, I also did some cleanup of the CVS repository. I removed the Script module and did a projectApolloScript module with checkout directory "Script" as all other modules work, too. To properly get the new module, please do the following:
- Rename your Script folder to e.g. "Script_old".
- Do a CVS Checkout of the module projectApolloScript in your Orbiter folder. You'll get a Script folder back.
- Copy the following files/folders from Script_old, i.e. the Orbiter script stuff except oapi_init.lua (Do _NOT_ copy or rename the Script_old folder itself):
attctrl.lua
Atlantis
Challenges
Demo
Demos
DG
- Delete the Script_old folder, done!
I moved my script to a ProjectApollo folder for all Project Apollo script and renamed it, so you need to type run("ProjectApollo/dsky_lamptest") to execute this script.
That's all for now, I'll post about the switch list later.

Erm...I can't compile modules since my last checkout. I get error messages like that:
Code:
2>saturn.obj : error LNK2019: Verweis auf nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol "_lua_type" in Funktion ""public: int __thiscall Saturn::Lua_InitInstance(void *)" (?Lua_InitInstance@Saturn@@QAEHPAX@Z)".
(yes, my compiler speaks german!
)
Do I have to 'wire in' something?
