DirectOutput Designer Application

[rampagemt]

Hello,

I am programmer from Germany working on a DirectOutput Designer Application.

The Application makes it possible to define Pages and uses events from games (currently lock-on only) to trigger actions like switching certain LEDs or displaying texts. It allows to connect Saitek Profiles to a configuration and certain pages and to save or load a configuration as "DirectOutput-Profile".

Currently the application is developed under java using JNA to access the directoutput.dll. I can map most of the functions and the features of my programm work well with the X52Pro. The only problem I encounter is the identification of the device connected.

As I understood the Device only holds a GUID from which I have to determine the device type and its abilities by myself.

To get the GUID from a device I use

DirectOutput_GetDeviceType(IN void* hDevice, OUT LPGUID pGdDevice);

My current Problem is the mapping of the GUID-Structure. I have currently mapped it as follows:

int, short, short, byte[8]

The GUID of X52Pro and what i get from the OUT Parameter differs:

29DAD506-F93B-4f20-85FA-1E02C04FAC17
29dad506-fffff93b-4f20-ffffff85fffffffa1e2ffffffc04fffffffac17

Maybe someone can help me out with the correct mapping?

I attached some pictures of the Application. But the Frontend isnt completely finished yet.

Greetings

First of all the GUID-Structure looks correct and secondly it also looks like all the information is in there.

29DAD506-F93B-4f20-85FA-1E02C04FAC17
29dad506-fffff93b-4f20-ffffff85fffffffa1e2ffffffc04fffffffac17

So I think it's the way you are turning the data in to a string that is causing the problem.

Data1
Specifies the first 8 hexadecimal digits of the GUID.

Data2
Specifies the first group of 4 hexadecimal digits.

Data3
Specifies the second group of 4 hexadecimal digits.

Data4
Array of 8 bytes. The first 2 bytes contain the third group of 4 hexadecimal digits. The remaining 6 bytes contain the final 12 hexadecimal digits.

Looking at what you have already :-

• Data1 = Correct
• Data2 = Correct but you need to only print the first 4 digits
• Data3 = Correct
• Data4 = Needs formatting correctly

I hope this helps

Thanks for the feedback. I believe the problem is that java has no unsigned numbers. Guess i got to convert the numbers to unsigned before converting them to a hex string. That would explain why field 3 is actually converted correctly while field 2 is not.

Looks promising,
Any change that there would be a way to let TS3 recognize one of the
MFD buttons so you can use that button to scroll trough the channels on the server your on?

Anyway, i am definitely going to keep an eye on this thread.
