    am I in over my head?

    I am trying to work with open cockpit io card dc motors and cant seem to understand where to start with the sioc. I do not understand this at all. I tried to go the the OC website to download a manual but it keeps showing some kind of server failure. Is ther another source for me to learn how all this works? I am not a comptuor programmer, have I bit off more than I can handle? Any help would be great! Here is a pic of my project as I get started, a GA panel.

    Thanks for the advice. I am certain I can figure it out, I just need logical advice. Readign oc manuals are a challenge to say the least!

    The SIOC window, Where it defines IO cards, it says "stopped" under the status. \It never starts. what am I missing?

    Hello gspannelljr

    Here is the link to the Manual for USB-DC Motor

    And look here for a nice review

    The important part in SIOC.ini is:
    USBDCmotor=0,xx // "0" for your first motor card and xx = USB port identifier.

    Remember you also have SIOC-Monitor to test the board without running any SIOC-code.

    thanks for the link, big help. However, SIOC still is not working. it looks to me like it is not "starting"? Here are two screen shots perhaps theymake sense to you. Thanks for the help!
