Title: What interface card is this?
Post by: Jason L on March 19, 2018, 01:07:57 PM
Anyone have an idea as to what kind of interface card this is?  Trying to figure out if it is a custom made one or an out of the box one.  My fancy new (to me) throttle has a few of these installed and I'm at a loss as to how to interact with it at the moment.  Still hunting in google but thought someone here might know.

Thanks.

I am going to say it is an OpenCockpits card...  Just from the look of it.  Is there any writing on it?

Program it with SIOC

Hey Jason,

I can tell you and I have the connection diagram as well. I'll get a copy to you shortly...

Thanks John...should have asked you first I suppose.  Just started tinkering this afternoon before my busy week at work.  I'll be posting pictures later tonight when I get a chance.

Hey Jason,

Okay, these are GoFlight I/O Interface Cards and there different ones, which are:

RMK TQ6=Throttle Quad

RMK P8 or T8=Switches/Buttons/Leds

RMK MCP=Mode Control Panel (Auto Pilot)

So, basically these were made like the GoFlight items, but for people who built their own cockpit. Like any other I/O card (FDS, OC and etc), you wire everything up to the card and you use the drivers provided by that manufacturer. Currently, I have the wiring sheets and a driver disk, but getting it too you quick might take a bit. I will shoot pics of the sheets and text them to you, as for the drivers I'll have to find a way to Dropbox or another method to get them to you. Just don't download ones off the internet because they're most likely bogus...
