       x52output - command line frontend for the x52pro library

SYNOPSIS

       x52output text 0 'First Line'
       x52output text 1 'Second Line'
       x52output text 2 'Third Line'
       x52output bri 0 40

       x52output second 30	 # YOKE only
       x52output offset 0 1 0 90 # set 90 minutes offset on time display 2

DESCRIPTION

       x52output is a command line frontend for the x52pro MFD library. It is intended for debugging and/or scripting purposes.

       The x52pro MFD library provides access to the display/LEDS of following SAITEK pro flight devices

       o      X52 Pro Flight Control System

       o      X52 Flight Control System

       o      X52 Pro Flight Yoke.

       x52output has following sub-commands:

       text line text
	      Outputs a single line of text to one of the three lines on the x52/x52pro MFD. line is a number from 0 to 2, text is an alphanumeric
	      text of length 16. Some graphical characters are also supported but no work has currently been spent on charset compatibility.

       bri mfd brightness
	      Sets the brightness of either the button LEDs (x52pro only) or the MFD. mfd=0  selects  the  buttons  and  mfd=1	selects  the  MFD.
	      brightness is a decimal value in the range from 0 to 127.

       led led-idx color
	      Sets the led color of one of the x52pro buttons. led-idx is a value from 1 to 19. The meaning of the led-idx values are specified in
	      the next paragraph.

       time h24 hour minute
	      Sets the time shown on the MFD. h24=0 displays the time in AM/PM notation, h24=1 displays the time in 24 Hour notation.  hour  is  a
	      value from 0 to 24 while minute is a value from 0 to 60.

       date year month mday
	      Sets  the  date  shown on the MFD. year, month, and mday are just values from 0 to 99. Using this order will show as YY-MM-DD on the
	      MFD but it is possible to use the three values in any order preferred.

       second second
	      Sets the second value shown on the Pro Flight Yoke MFD. Can be a value from 0 to 59.

       offset offset
	      Sets the time offset of the secondary and tertiary time display of the x52/x52pro MFD. idx=0 selects  the  secondary  display  while
	      idx=1  selects  the  tertiary  display.  neg=0 sets a positive offset, neg=1 sets a negative offset.  offset is in minutes from 0 to
	      1023.

       led-idx for the led sub-command can be one of the following values:

       1      LED(s) of Fire Button

       2      Red LED of A Button

       3      Green LED of A Button

       4      Red LED of B Button

       5      Green LED of B Button

       6      Red LED of D Button

       7      Green LED of D Button

       8      Red LED of E Button

       9      Green LED of E Button

       10     Red LED of T1 Switch

       11     Green LED of T1 Switch

       12     Red LED of T2 Switch

       13     Green LED of T2 Switch

       14     Red LED of T3 Switch

       15     Green LED of T3 Switch

       16     Red LED of Coolie Hat

       17     Green LED of Coolie Hat

       18     Red LED of i Button

       19     Green LED of i Button

       x52output needs write access to the raw x52 USB device. This package is supplied with udev rules for providing write access on  the  SAITEK
       MFD joysticks to the plugdev group members. If x52output fails, permission problems can be checked by means of running it with sudo.

EXIT STATUS

       If  the	joystick/yoke  is  not found x52output will return a status code of 1. In every other situation it will return a status code of 0.
       This includes malformed command lines.

BUGS

       x52output can currently control only a single SAITEK mfd device. If there are more than one devices attached to the system, the first  will
       always be used.
