Trying to configure flaps on Servo Card[SOLVED]

Post by DDC »

Hi all,

I have been trying to configure the flap servo connected to the MIP Servo card. I have never been able to get it to work. The tiller (analog) on the same card is recognized but have never been able to get the MIP servo card to recognize my flaps servo. It is USB 56 so I have assigned it IDX 36 but nothing works. When I click on the module and then link it to the "MIP_ServoCard1" in the Operations module (In Config) then nothing happens (I don't see MIP_ServoCard1" in Cockpit configuration module). I have never been able to get the flaps servos to move at all (but the OVH servo cards seem fine).

It could be that the ServoCard has another PIC name than what is hard coded in the OC4BAv4 program.

What does the SIOC Device window shows? send me an image.

You can always do it manually. Change the last line of your config to this:



USBServos=36,56


It must be written to the PMDG B737.ini , not only SIOC.ini as the PMDG B737.ini is loaded over to SIOC.ini when you start the driver.

Thanks for the response. It doesn't seem to be an issue with OC4BA as when I empty the script and use the SIOC Monitor I still cant get anything to move. What I noticed though is that none of my USB Servos seem to keep an assigned device number. They always have no device number even after I assign them a number in either SIOC config devices or in OC4BA configuration.

The image looks OK and it should work if the PMDG B737.ini and SIOC.ini is as I stated above.

I believe you do not have any Power ( 5v) to you Servo card or you do not have the correct wiring between Servo and Servo Card.

I think you are right. It this point it must be a physical issue. I will check that. Thanks.

My flaps servos were burnt out so replaced them. Servos work now...
