use this file but you have to find out your own numbers for servo location as explained in OC Flaps Manual
when you run the servo program they have make sure no other modules etc.. are connected.. program would crash for me i unhooked MCP/EFIS etc.. then it runs good.
Hope it helps

it should say there:
before you run opencockpit's servo program unhook any modules you may have only hook up servocard to usb,
also you will have to add your usbservos to your sioc.ini file or it will not work after you compile
now this file sioc.ini is explain in such way i have no idea how to add servo card to it, i did it by mistake somehow.. my file is a mess with english/spanish comments i do not understand.. i added this card somehow and it works but oh boy!
Note, the config utility to find your servo values will work fine w/o adding card to sioc.ini but sioc.exe will not send data to servo card unless it is correctly declared in sioc.ini even though your compiles xxxxx.ssi file for gauge is correct and good.
did i confuse the %&$# out of you yet.. lol
well i hope not
hope it helps you

Hi Andy
Sorry for my delay i only got a notification this morning
I managed to get it all working Thanks
I had found that script previously but it wasn't working due to my lack of SIOC knowledge !
anyway I've been playing around as i have the open cockpits CDU working with the NGX i didn't want to cock those settings up i managed to test the flaps gauge individually then i had to find away of compiling both scripts the website you pointed out helped a great deal thanks, i just had a small error under group and run on the compiler it kept saying file not found any way long story short managed to get it working with my CDU on my home build 737 single seat trainer working with the NGX off a single PC

i just need to install the gauge now as i didn't want to fit it until i had it working
as you can see from the picture i have a hole where it should be

Thanks for the help

Hows your project going ?
