    strange SIOC problem, anyone?

    Hello!
    I have just connected input card number three,
    on master card number two.
    When I test a button in Controlador.exe, it shows Input 72 and so on,
    but it will not do the action in the SIM.
    If I use for example a button from another input card, 31, it works.
    When it is working perfectly well in controlador, how can it be that it is not sending any information?

    Hi,
    What is an input card? Have I missed something ?
    or, are you referring to the input connectors of the Master card?

    And by the way, what is the relationship with SIOC?

    Input card, the break out card for the inputs connection

    http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/images/3t4.01.jpg

    Anyway, I found out: In the MASTERS section of SIOC.ini,
    If I have more than one master card connected to the USB expansion card,
    it must have a number "2", like
    2,4,2,3 instead of 2,4,1,3.
    The outputs worked fine, but the inputs did not make it, before I changed it in the SIOC.ini.

    Solved!

    aha I understand, fine.

    Note that there are also break out cards used for outputs (in fact they are bi-sexual )

    Hi Stabell, the problem you're describing is one that will come knocking on our door very soon (as soon as we make the transition from IOCARD.EXE to SIOC).

    I'm unable understand what the number means, you replace "1" with "2", is that the number mastercards connected to the USB card? In other words, do you two cards connected?

    correct, the third number in the (MASTERS)-section of SIOC.ini is the number of master cards connected to the USB expansion card.
    With that set to "1" instead of "2", the outputs work fine, but not hte inputs.
    Now I have bought my THIRD master card

    What is new?
    "make the transition from IOCARD.EXE to SIOC.."?

    What that number means is described in the default sioc.ini file. It indeed means that your first USB expansion card has 2 Master cards.

    It is not difficult, in this statement you also link a connection between your first USB expansion card and the USB index number it has got at your PC.

    And it says that at this USB index you have connected a USB expansion card (and not a MCP, or a USB outputs card, or ...)

    Please consult the sioc.ini for more details (about the other numbers).

    regards,
    nico kaan

    Thanx Stabell and Nico

    Can't wait to make the transition! It will be like going from DOS batch files to C++ (Although I have to admit it is a strangely constructed language, perhaps it is what makes it powerful).

    And we might finally get the Vert. Speed display on the MCP working as it should. We haven't looked at that since 2004
