"Inner Circle" HSI - SIOC DC Motors Card Script

[Boeing 747 Flyer]

Any ideas? I still cannot get the potentiometers recognised by SIOC, despite the fact that they are fully working in Controlador.exe?

Try reading the last few lines on page 4 of the installation manual for this card. Also, I would strip out the many references to other cards in your .ini file to reduce it down to only what you currently need

Hi David,

I will look at the manual.

The references like USBServos, etc... Are all needed. I have 7 seperate Opencockpit Cards + one ATC module.

EDIT: David, which manual is this? I see no reference to Potentiometers in both the USBExpansion or Master manual lifted from the OC shop page.

I only meant for the troubleshooting stage

The card you are trying to make work - the USBDCMotors card. I am assuming that you are using the A/D inputs from that card

Hi David,

The Pots are now completely recognised, but Var 25 refuses to execute when the pot changes from 150 and vice-versa.

Why does this script not work?

Var 0, Value 0
{
 &Motor_2 = 120
 &Motor_3 = 120
 &Motor_4 = 120
 &Motor_6 = 120
}

Var 0001, name Motor_1, Link USB_DCMOTOR, Output 1

Var 0002, name Motor_2, Link USB_DCMOTOR, Output 2

Var 0003, name Motor_3, Link USB_DCMOTOR, Output 3

Var 0004, name Motor_4, Link USB_DCMOTOR, Output 4

Var 0005, name Motor_5, Link USB_DCMOTOR, Output 5

Var 0006, name Motor_6, Link USB_DCMOTOR, Output 6

Var 0010, name A1, Link USB_ANALOGIC, Input 1, PosL 0, PosC 127, PosR 255

Var 0011, name A2, Link USB_ANALOGIC, Input 2, PosL 0, PosC 127, PosR 255

Var 0012, name A3, Link USB_ANALOGIC, Input 3, PosL 0, PosC 127, PosR 255

Var 0013, name A4, Link USB_ANALOGIC, Input 4, PosL 0, PosC 127, PosR 255

Var 25, name Bar_GS
{
 IF &A3 <= 150
 {
  &Motor_1 = 120
  &Motor_5 = 250
 }
  ELSE
  {
   &Motor_1 = 250
   &Motor_5 = 120
  }
}

It is a basic principle of SIOC that scripts attached to a variable are only executed when the value of the variable changes. But in your coding variable 25 never changes value!! This is amply and clearly explained on Nico`s site, perhaps a bit more homework is required

Thanks very, very much everybody. All works now!

Onto the next task... Getting the Pots, Motor and Offset $04CE all interfaced together.

I am trying trying to understand Gery's method from earlier. How can I interface all of them? I am comfortable with Servo gauges but not with these (?).

Kindest regards,

Jack

Any ideas?
