SIOC and Opencockpits help

[Emanuelejazz]

Hello everyone, I'm new to SIOC and Opencockpits card and I need some help.
I've assembled the USB Expansion, Master Card and Display Card; all seems to work just fine from the SIOC monitor and I can manually switch on a led or display a number on a 7-segment etc, so the cards should be fine.
Now is time to start programmimg the script for my MCP, but first I wanted to do some test to understand how things works.
So I connected a switch to inpunt 001 and I wanted to switch on landing light with it.
I used this script:

Var 1 Link IOCARD_SW Input 1 Type I
{
   v2 = CHANGEBIT 2 v1
}

Var 2 Link FSUIPC_OUT Offset $0D0C Length 2

but it dowsn't work...nothing happens in the simulator... here some screenhots of my setup with the switch off and on.





Can anyone help me to understand what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank a lot
Bye

Emanuele

hello Emanuel,

It doesn't look like you have loaded your script.  You should compile the .txt file into a .ssi file.  Then in your SIOC.ini file you need to tell it you want to load that particular script.   Also, make sure you have defined your card properly in SIOC.ini.

Hi, I've compiled it I think. I 've imported the txt file and the green OK appeared; then i saved the.ssi and set up it to load as default in the .ini config file.
Now I also tryed to set Device as 16 that is my USB Expansion Card but nothing changed....
How can be possible

Thank again

From the log window on your screenshots it didn't look like you were loading the file

[Emanuelejazz]

This is the complete log screen....the file name is test.ssi so it seems I have loaded it but I may be wrong....

Oh, I see.  That looks good.  But I do see your problem now.  SIOC doesn't see FSUIPC or WideFS running...

Do you have FSUIPC installed and registered on you Flightsim installation?   Is this card on same computer as fs?

[Emanuelejazz]

No that was my fault, I did the screenshot only to show the SIOC log without starting the sim. In the previous ones FS2004 was running with FSUIPC last version installed; no I run all on one PC for the moment....
I really can't figure out what's happening !!!

Have you changed your sioc.ini file to reference the mastercard and its device number - in your case 16?

[Emanuelejazz]

Hi, first thanks for helping me !!!
I've just done it in this way:

[------------- CARDS CONFIG -------------]

[ IOCard Master ]
[ MASTER=0,4,1,16 ]


having only one USB expantion and one MasterCard connected, but it doesn't effect anything.

I've also noticed that when I turn on the switch, in the IOCP concsole, Var1 which is related to the switch doesn't change its value....that is the problem I think but... why ?? If in the SIOC monitor the switch works .... I can't really understand....

[fordgt40]

I hope you have not kept the square brackets

The definition should be

MASTER=0,4,1,16

Try SETBIT / CLEARBIT, this is how i have write script. This is to default planes, some addons have own offsets and bits.

Var 0001, name Lights, Link FSUIPC_INOUT, Offset $0D0C, Length 2 // LIGHTS

Var 0002, name LightSw, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 0, Input 97, Type I // SW_LANDING_LIGHT
{
   IF &LightSw = 1
   {
       &Lights = SETBIT 2
   }
   ELSE
   {
      IF &LightSw = 0
      {
          &Lights = CLEARBIT 2
      }
   }
}

Im glad I noticed this thread, thats the first Ive the SETBIT/CLEARBIT. How about using this offset with the outputs card? I want to use the "good NAV1" offset to control the status light on the 737-200 AP indicator. Would this cause the offset to turn on and off the "good NAV1" on output 97? My switches are not connected through an opencockpits card so I dont need that action in SIOC.

Var 0001, name radio, Link FSUIPC_INOUT, Offset $3300, Length 2 // Additional radio and autopilot status indicatorsLIGHTS

Var 0002, name NAV1, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device 0, Output 97, //  good NAV1
{
   IF &radio = SETBIT 1
   {
       &NAV1 = 1
   }
   ELSE
   {
      IF &radio = CLEARBIT 1
      {
          &NAV1 = 0      }
   }
}
