Open Cockpits USB servo card and flap gauge setup [SOLVED]

[dornier]

Hi all,

I received an Opencockpits USB servo card today. I hooked it all up and with SOIC monitor I was able to move the flap indicator, but I'm lost on how to set it up with OC4BAv4. Could someone please help me setup the flap gauge? By the way, I'm using the OCP4NGX version 4.4.0.0 and OCP4NGX_v4.4.ssi.

Thanks!

The Flap servo should be connected to Output 1 of The Servo Card.

Connect Servo Card USB to PC.

Start OC4BAv4.

Click Config

Click PMDG B737

Click OCP4NGX_v4.4.ssi

Now all P&P modules should be listed in the Cockpit configuration box

Click detected Servo Card in Modules box

Click MIP_ServoCard1 in Operation box

Now The MIP_Servo should be added to the Cockpit configuration box

Exit Config

Hi,

When I selected the servo (-61), the servo started jumping from about the flaps 5 position to about the flaps 30 position. Once I selected MIP servo for the operation and exited the config screen, I selected the 737 icon and the flap indicator goes to the less than flaps up position and stops. When the flaps are moving, the servo doesn't move. The Servo USB number is -61. When I use the SIOC monitor, the Flaps Up value is 235 and Flaps 40 is 794. The flap indicator I'm using only has one needle. I guess if any of the code has to be modified, it could be either one (L or R)? Which values need to be changed for this to work?

The servo is connected to the Servo 1 jumper. In SIOC monitor, IDX = 36 and Device =61

Here's part of the script that I exported. If you need any other part or the whole thing, please let me know, thanks.:

Update:

I read through the Opencockpits PDF for the flap gauge and modified a new the script based on v4.4 to the following. At least the Flap indicator goes to UP when I start OC4BAv4, but there's no movement as the flaps extend or retract:

Last update before I go to sleep, I tried an older 4.2 ssi file and it worked! I changed the values to match the various flap positions and it worked great. Is it possible that the OCP4NGX_v4.4.ssi is corrupted on my end?

Thanks,

George

It is a bug in the OCP4NGX_V4.4.ssi script that came with OC4BAv4 beta1.

A new updated OC4BAv4 beta2 download is sent to you for test.

It is a bug in the OCP4NGX_V4.4.ssi script that came with OC4BAv4 beta1.

A new updated OC4BAv4 beta2 download is sent to you for test.

You're the best! I'm using a modified OCP4NGXv4.4.ssi file with the correct servo values for my hardware and it works great with the 737, thanks! Now I just need the MIP to get here already! Running out of space on the desk .
