Does OC4BAv4 work with a Pololu Micro Maestro 6-Channel USB

Post by dornier »

Hi Roar,

Would OC4BAv4 work with a Pololu Micro Maestro 6-Channel USB Servo Controller? I know you said that the Opencockpits version would work, but it's easier for me to buy the Pololu controller.

By the way, do you have a tutorial on how to use OC4BAv4 with a USB servo controller?

Thanks for the great software,

George

It will not work without some modification of the code. I have no plans to do that.

All PMDG B737NGX gauges are coded in the OC4BAv4 software.
You just configure it in OC4BAv4/Config and it should work.

Which functions are you going to connect to the Servo Card?

Hi,

It's for a flap gauge with a servo. I'll order the opencockpits USB servo controller. How do you setup the flap gauge to sync up with your software?

Thanks again,

George

Connect FLAPS 1 to Output 1 and FLAPS 2 to Output 2 of the SERVO CARD.
Connect the USB cable of the SERVO card to your PC.

Start OC4BAv4 and click Config

Your SERVO CARD should now be listed in the Modules box.

Link the SERVO CARD to the MIP_ServoCard1
