[Solved] FSUIPC does not recognize all 64 buttons

Native support for > 32 buttons is only available in FSUIPC6 and FSUIPC7. In FSUIPC4, to support more than 32 buttons you need to use a lua script to convert the physical button presses/releases to virtual button presses/releases. There is an example script provided (in the Example Lua plugins.zip file in your modules\FSUIPC Documents folder) called HidDemo.lua that you can use to do this. Update the script to use your devices VID and PID, and make sure the script is running (usually achieved via having it auto-started via the FSUIPC4.ini [Auto] section).

I was concerned that might be the case.  But I have a solution and will learn about lua.  Thank you so much for the support and all that you guys have given to the community.

I have attached the .ini, .log and .Lua files.  I read about Lua and updated the Hiddemo.lua scropt with my device info yet had no success implementing all buttons on the Button Box card.  I tried adding 1 line of code at a time from the script using the online interpreter which always led to a syntax error.  I can not understand what I am doing wrong.

Vendor = Leo Bodnar
Product = Button Box Interface BBI-64

Try

Vendor = 0x1DD2
Product = 0x2020

Its easier to use the hex VID and PID values. If you want to use the device names, you need to put them in quotes, e.g.

Vendor = "Leo Bodnar"
Product = "Button Box Interface BBI-64"

The error you are getting is because the Vendor will be set to "Leo" (as you had no quotes to enclose the string), then the interpreter see 'Bodnar Product' which makes no sense - an '=' is expected to make that valid.

If you are starting with Lua, probably a good idea to do a short on-line tutorial on the lua basics to get you started...

Cheers,
