I look at them by displacement and cylinders (XRG/XFG/UF1 IIRC had cylinders 1/4 and displacement 1000/2000 <- min/max). Each number corresponds to a cartype but I handle it without the names also, I recommend you to just try one by one - it DOES work.
Conf. files for Z15 and Z17 attached. Download, extract and then click Preferences and then Configuration file path and select the one you want (15/17).
one day I started thinking it would be cool if there was a tool that would enable InSim in LFS itself to avoid questions like "wtf how i get insim working i have no clue help plz".
It's a .NET (3.5) DLL that's really easy to use - just reference it in your project, put a using LFS.InSimEnabler line under other using ... statements and use ISEnabler class to enable InSim in LFS.
I've made a quick sample app (C#), also. Test.ISEnabler contains program and the other RAR contains the DLL only.
Oh, BS isn't inteded to be integrating - it's a learning kit. With BS doing such projects as LFS gauges and stuff it's very (I mean VERY) easy to do, if you got necessary items.
And as for the sourcecode - I could send you my program but it works with serial connection only.
Yes - I am using serial connection (USB and FTDI, though). Basic Stamp already is a microcontroller and it's controlling the motor through a ULN2003 (or compatible) chip which is necessary because of the currents or smth .
But the idea of that program is very easy - it waits for input and then rotates it accordingly (comparing to previous rotation). Driving a 5-wire stepper is also very easy, look for tutorials in the internet.
For that you would need Basic Stamp, stepper motor, stepper motor driver - if you have those then you could use the program, too. :P Until that it wouldn't be any use.
