Hello,
i managed to get my servo motor (HITEC HS55) from OC running using the usbservo card from OC.
But i have a problem. If i use the IOCards USB Test programm (iocards_test.exe) i am able to move the servo motor (in my case Flap gauge) but the direction is wrong.
I assumed (as stated in the OC manual) small value = position up, higher value = , 5, 10 and so on.
If i turn the slider up - the motor does not move clockwise, it moves counterclockwise.
Does anybody encountered the same behaviour and has a solution. The motor is connected the correct way to the usbservo card +5V / Data / GND. Does the +5V and GND have influence on the direction of the servo ? It is connected the right way....
I want to leave all the SIOC code out for now, i just want to see the motors running in the right direction. I will not use SIOC to drive - PROSIM can control them - i sucessfully can adjust the motor with prosim but it loses somehow the correct position and i have the impression that there is some how a kind of barrier or limit in the servos motor as it turnes.
Anyway - The usbservo card is configured correctly in sioc.ini and recogized by the sioc program.
Hmmm- strange enough but maybe somebody had the same observations and found some tricks to solve this.
Cheers Andy
PS: but it is good to see that the holes in the MIP are getting closed step by step even with gauge which have strange behaviour.
