Hello people.
The problem was solved, Opencockpits has two new solutions for these problems:
1. New USB Expansion firmware available in the shop.
2. New Sioc 4.4b1 version.
With all known bugs resolved and a new feature: up to 400 programmable keys in keyboard emulator.
Regards,

great news thank you
i will check it out later just wondering is there some info on updating firmware.. i am assuming it might mean updating the chip on usb expansion card... never done nothing like that if that is even what it means :)

thanks

The simplest way is to buy the latest chip from OC, its only 7 euros + postage. Then you prise out the existing chip from its socket in the expansion board and push in the new one. You might need to straighten the pins on the new one first. If you decide to go this route and need more advice on receipt of the new chip then post here again

Edit: here is a link showing how to remove and reinsert a chip

Hello guys.

I just updated my Expansion board, though not tested for the bug fixes yet.

The chip (16C745) is OTP (One Time Programmable) so not possible to re-flash.
You’ll get the chip for ~$3 at Mouser or may find it on Ebay/Aliexpress at good
prices as well. Add a JDM programmer ($10-$15) and you are ready to go.

If this is a single instance replacement/programming of a PIC, then better buy from OC.

I've ordered two. Will let you know if it helps...

Hi,
I received two VERSION 2 USB Expansion Microcontrollers. This together with SIOC version 4.4b1 did the job!

No more missed (closed) inputs in my sim at start-up of SIOC (and lekseecon).

Many thanks Nico
