Abstract
A processing system for a flight simulator includes a non-transitory memory and a processor. The non-transitory memory is configured to store computer-executable instructions for a host process and a ScramNet-to-Ethernet application programming interface (API). The processor is communicatively coupled to a ScramNet interface and the non-transitory memory, and is configured to execute the host process and the ScramNet-to-Ethernet API to: convert, using the ScramNet-to-Ethernet API, a user interface message to a first ScramNet message on the ScramNet bus, process, using the host process, the first ScramNet message to generate a second ScramNet message on the ScramNet bus.
Claims20
A processing system, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory configured to store computer-executable instructions for a host process and a ScramNet-to-Ethernet application programming interface (API);
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to a ScramNet interface and the non-transitory memory, and configured to execute the host process and the ScramNet-to-Ethernet API to:
- convert, using the ScramNet-to-Ethernet API, a pilot interface message to a first ScramNet message for transmission via a ScramNet bus;
- and
- process, using the host process, the first ScramNet message to generate a second ScramNet message for transmission via the ScramNet bus.
A computer-readable memory storing computer executable instructions for a host process and a ScramNet-to-Ethernet application programming interface (API) that, upon execution by a processor, configure the processor to:
- receive a user interface message from an Ethernet interface, wherein the user interface message comprises user input data;
- convert the user interface message to a first ScramNet message and transmit the first ScramNet message onto a ScramNet bus;
- access the ScramNet bus and process the user input data in the first ScramNet message to generate a second ScramNet message;
- and
- transmit the second ScramNet message via the ScramNet bus.
A method comprising:
- receiving a user interface message over an Ethernet network from a user interface, wherein the user interface message comprises user inputs;
- converting the user interface message to a first ScramNet message and transmitting the first ScramNet message onto a ScramNet bus;
- executing a host process configured to gain access to the ScramNet bus and process the user inputs in the first ScramNet message to generate a second ScramNet message;
- and
- transmitting the second ScramNet message onto the ScramNet bus.
