Unable to read var (SOLVED)

[reggie]

I Roar,
I've just installed new OC4BA v3 150117.

I do not succed to read var value. It is not a bug in the sofware or in the installation, I always have that problem.
Can you look at my simple script file and explain what I made wrong.

Thank you

Hi,

The script looks OK. It is the same as I use in 3.4 script , but with your device/output numbers

But you must use the latest OCP4NGX version 2.5.5 for SDK SP2 function ( both red and amber)

The device 2 I do not know, but if your EXP/MASTER has IDX2 in SIOC.ini it should be OK


With 2.5.5 ( also other OCP4NGX for HW with IOCARDS) you must toggle BAT SW to initiate everything.


OCP4NGX version with even version number do not have all VARS enabled.

If you do not have any OVH BAT SW function in your Hardware. Go to IOCPConsole and toggle it for testing.

Then either make HW switch or make you specific script to toggle when you start.

Thank you for your quick answer.

OK I made the test with OC4BA v255 on B737NGX version sp1D using FSX and P3D
On the FSX software parts PMDG B737 is load, everything is ON electrical circuit an engine running.

The only scripts load in SIOC v 5.0B5 is the sample test posted, so no others things should be interfere.
On the other hand I had never be able to read any VAR even in older version but always able to use Event without any problem
So all my MIP is programed with FSUIPC reading variable and Macro command to execute event, what is a mess when I have to reinstall PMDG aircraft, all macro must be redone.
And that's the reason why I want to use OC4BA driver, but my MIP is a bit different than yours, I using USB_Keys board for all Push Switch so I can not use your script as it is even if I modify inputs and outputs.
Can it be a problem with SimConnect ?

How I make the test
I push CMD-A switch on the screen I saw the amber led flashing on the screen, but on my MIP nothing react.
So I check with SIOC Monitor to check LEDS and I can turn it ON
I also check with IOCP Console and I do not have a value for VAR 1304 or any other Var number.

I really do not know how to go further on that trouble shooting.

So I really appreciate your support.

Thank you

Hi,

You can't read anything via OCP4NGX just with your test code.

You need to activate 1 important variable before OCP4NGX starts to send any information
it receives from PMDG to SIOC.


Try to send a 1 to Var 2800 via IOCPConsole when you test. Or, Define a Var2800 name OVHSTATE Static Value 1 in the beginning of your code.

A 1 in Var 2800 should initiate OCP4NGX to stat sending info.

Try it tell me if you succeed.

[reggie]

YES. It's working

I should had knowing that a long time ago, But I do not want bother you.

Thank you very much Roar
