    Re: Opencockpit PCB's

    Sean:
    This old thread is from 2011.....
    I like the one side version of USBServo Card.
    Marsh make this, and the USB Stepper too.
    Too bad not having the original drawing of Marsh to produce them by the method of transfer of toner. (The original gerber pcb are for double-sided board with metallized holes, some difficult to make at home)
    The gerber and HEX files are missing from Opencockpits web.
    I have it in some hidden place of some of my 20 hard disks....
    When I find it, it would send gladly, but be patient.
    Regards.
    Horacio.

    Thx Horacio

    I do really appreciate your help. I have a total work station where I'm building my sim. I have laser engraving machine CNC machine and I screen print the pcb's and then do copper through hole plating. I have the servo motor gerber file and hex file just the Axces card Gerber and Hex. Please I would really appreciate the help.

    Kind Regards
    Sean

    Ps: You don't maybe have the Opencockpits output board files on one of those drives of yours? I only see they have on the website the test program but that is it no manuals or gerber or hex files.

    thx for the willingness to help.

    Sean:
    Sorry if my english is not good. (Excuse me for some Google Translation!!!)

    At last i find the files (yes, as always happend in the last of 17 disks checked).
    You have Laser engraving, CNC, you can do copper through hole.......really i envy you!!!!!!!!! .

    Ok. Let me packing all the files. (gerber, squematics, hex files, manuals) .
    Maybe i post them in the download section, or by a Mega or other storage service. (Large 17 Mb file)

    The Opencockpits Output Board, Axes Plus and the USB DCMotors Plus plans, gerber or .hex files, was never made public by Manolo Velez. (He got tired of giving free and now wants to do business......)

    Only i have the following:

    All with manuals, hex, gerber files and squematics (some of them in old spanish manual versions)

    IOCARD Master
    USB Expansion
    USB Servos
    USB Steppers
    USB Axes (first version with 8 bits resolution)
    USB Keys
    USB DCMotors
    USB Display II
    USB LCD
    USB Relays

    Any doubt, or damaged file or forgotten, let me know...

    And maybe i make a post for all the group, if anybody knows the way to make a single side PCB of the gerber like Marsh make with the servo board, for simple mortals like me, without special equipment to do this things.
    Regards.
    Horacio.

    P.S. Here is the link if you can´t wait......

    Re: Opencockpit PCB's

    Horacio,
    You may want to replace USB expansion board with latest firmware. There was a bug in earlier version.
    By the way thanks for the files. I was wanting the USBlcd firmware. Asked OC and they said it was proprietry and could not give it to me. So i sucked it out of a good board.

    Man an you are a star!! Thanks a million man if only there where more Guy's like you around that is willing to help someone like me only starting of now! If there is at anytime anything I can do for you please don't ever hesitate to ask me!!

    You don't maybe know of any other good output board that would be compatible with the open cockpits software?

    Once again I can not say thank you enough for taking the time and effort to help me!! Thank you so much!!!!

    Kind Regards
    Sean

    Re: Opencockpit PCB's

    Les and Sean:


    Long... long... long post again! but with good information....


    For the USBExpansion, the version of firmware included in the zip file is the last available.
    iocard_usb41.hex also known as version 2 ...


    As Manolo Velez says in an forum:


    "The only firmware update that's needed is the
    USB expansion to make it compatible with operating systems and W98SE
    W2000 and troubleshoot a problem of incompatibility with some
    joysticks.
    This occurs in less than 4.1 versions, to see the version
    you can use the program USBCheck.exe"




    The first was deleted for obvious reasons.
    If you want the first version, also I have it.
    here is the link to the program to check version:


    http://www.opencockpits.com/uploads/USBCheck.zip


    For some reason, when Opencockpits change the web site, all the hex, gerber, and squematics files where lost (on purpose of making business ?....who knows!).




    About your question of any other good output board that would be compatible with the open cockpits software (SIOC)......


    What do you think about a USB Processor card with a PIC18F4450 to replace at least USB expansion, Master and display cards all together?
    This Pic has USB, is reprogrammable, with only few components (not like PIC16C745 now obsolete)


    This card, is able of manage 6 servos, 6 analog inputs, 4 relays, and a 1024 individual leds outputs, or 128 digits, and 256 inputs to connect push buttons, toggle switch or encoders.
    Using a bridge program, and with some new commands, the board can communicate with SIOC.


    You can use up to 8 cards in one PC, an add another network PC with 8 more a so on.... (lots of inputs and outputs)
    With the same card, you can make a Key Card to send a keycode to SIOC


    Go to:

    https://phpjj.wordpress.com/


    Read carefully, understand the concept, and make contact with Peter: he will send you by request all the files (include source code!!!!) to build this new category of cards.
    I have the files, but i prefer you contact Peter (a really very good guy).


    And if somebody knows about programming, why not use Arduino with SIOC? (forget Link2FS...)


    Look this solution with arduino, but for use with X-PLANE.


    http://svglobe.com/arduino/


    It´s is a live project, with new features every short time.


    For Flight simulator, just is needed a bridge program between SIOC (IOCP protocol) and the arduino.
    If anybody shows me how to separate a variable lenght string, and assign values to internal variables, we have 70% resolved the problem using IOCP protocol (and using ethernet in place of USB).


    Read all carefully, understand that, and any doubt, let me know.
    Regards.
    Horacio.

    Re: Opencockpit PCB's

    Hi Horacio and Sean,
    Re the USBexpansion card firmware, should have known that Horacio would have the latest. I just saw the date on the
    folder, sorry about that. Further to what Horacio said, the updated firmware corrects a bug that existed causing inputs
    not to be read correctly when multiple Master cards were used.
    Horacio:
    That new I/F hardware looks interesting, have been looking out for something more compact than O/C hardware and
    with it using SIOC is just the icing on the cake, thanks for directing us to it.

    Re: Opencockpit PCB's

    Hi again:
    Just find a new .hex file for the Displays II Card, and all files to build the encoders to mastercard board.
    And update some squematics.

    The new full version is:

    For update only:

    Re: Opencockpit PCB's

    Me again:

    Just remember about the Encoders to Mastercard board.

    The original Mastercard only accepts 1/4 cycle per detent type encoders.
    The Encoders to Mastercard accepts 1 cycle per detent type encoders.
    And a new firmware to Encoders to Mastercad, accepts 1/2 cycle per detent type encoder.
    Here is the 1/2 cycle per detent type encoder hex file for Encoders to Mastercard Board, with some manuals....

    I hope this is all... but who know?
    Regards.
    Horacio.
