OC Master and USB cards

[Jasmckee]

Hi guys,

not sure if this is the right place or not, but i am having issues with these cards

it is either:
a: the software not working right (or me not knowing how to use it properly)
b: an issue with one of the two cards

ok here is the problem

if i plug the usb expansion card in to the usb post, all the inputs are shown as active on the controllador software. if i plug the mastercard into the usb card, none of the inputs are active, and it will not show anyt of them as active if i short them as described in the manual.

if i plug in the mastercard into the computer by the parellel port i can activate the inputs by shorting out the pins.

so this is my question, am i doing something wrong, or am i just not setting this up right.

i have the controllador.ini chaged to activeate the usb card, as far as the rest goes, not sure what i should have set. the manuals aren't that much help either, any help would be great

thanks

In the controlador software does it show usb running and connected? Also you must put a line in the the ini file telling the software how many master cards you have. You must connect MC to J1 on the usb expansion card.

Hi Jason

You have to change the sioc.ini to tell the software how many mastercard you are running. In a few hours I will post 4 sioc.ini for 1 to 4 mastercard. It will be in the Opencockpit page under software on my website. So you will only have to copy my sioc.in to the folder where you put the software from opencokcpits.

Here my page www.fight.nrick.net

PS need more help just ask.

I stand to be corrected, but am unaware that SIOC.INI has any impact on Controlador. SIOC.INI is used by SIOC to get its initial parameters and is used when running/compilig scripts. If at this stage, you just wish to test all is ok and are using Controlador then you do not need to do anything with SIOC.INI. I suggest you post your controlador.ini file here and we will take a look at it. Also did you buy the cards in built or kit form

The only difference I can see is on the line "simulator=yes"
I have controlador running on two different machines, however, I have this line set to simulator=no
Try this and see what happens
