Opencockpit cards strange problem

[Olympic260]

Hello,

First my setup. I am using 1 USB expansion card and two master cards. Each master card is tested and works OK connected to the USB by a DB25 M/F cable.

Today I tryied to test both master cards connected. I connected the 5V power to all cards and connected Master1 to J1 of USB and Master 2 at J2. Also changed the ini files so that The number of cards are 2.

Running controlador everything OK it recognises two cards. Tested the inputs on N1 master and everything OK, but when I test the inputs of master two they don't work as supposed. Closing Ground1 with Pin 1 at the controlador I am seeing all the inputs of this bank to be active pins (1-9) if I close ground2 with first pin of second bank I am getting the same so on.

If I change the masters and the No1 becomes No2 and vice versa I have the same problem. In few wolrds any card connected to J2 of the USB has the same problem. I have checked all connection at the usb just in case but haven't found anything.

Any suggestions???

Hi Chris

In your sioc.ini file die you set it up so it knows that you have a USB card connected and 2 Master Card. What I believe your ini file is not set up probably.

You can send me your ini file and I will have a look at it. rick@nrick.net

Here is a cool page about Opencockpits. http://personales.ya.com/micabina737...ard/test1i.htm

Norbert I am not using SIOC yet. All the tests are made by Controlador program. As I wrote controlador says 2 cards connected. If there was only 1 master declared then the 2nd one wont work at all.

Hi Chris

Will try your ini files when I get home and that post my results.

HI Chris
I just used your INI file on my hardware and it just worked fine for Controlador.ini file. I guess it might be that the master cards are on the wrong position on the USB card, that could be one reason. I also had that problem once, it drove me nuts. And you are making the right connection on the master card for the inputs.


If you still have problems fell free to ask.
