OC4BAV5 idx device ???

Post by sky80033 »

Hello,
First excuse me for my bad english
I modify my script by replacing the idx, input, output,in the OCP4NGX_V5.5
I only work with IOCARD hardware no P&P module.
I have 1 expansion card with 4 masters and 1 expansion with 1 masters.+servo card+key card+dcmotor card+stepper motor card.
My problem is that I don't know how to configure the sioc.ini file manually.Witch IDX for MASTER ,15 mcp or 31 mip or 32 pedestal??
All my inputs for my mcp are on the expansion card , master card 1 (number 0 to 71) and all my input for the mip are on the master card 2 number (72 to 143),(THE SAME IDX,THAT'S THE PROBLEM).
I hope to be clear.
Thank you.

First of all. When using OC4BAv5 with your own built modules based on IOCARDS, you should only edit/modify the PMDG B737.ini, not the SIOC.ini.
You should not edit/modify or change the SIOC.ini that comes with OC4BAv5.

I suggest that you use the IDX for the MIP with your "Expansion + Masters for MCP and MIP hardware"

In PMDG B737.ini you should have

[SIOC]
IOCP_port=8092
IOCP_timeout=4000
Minimized=Yes
toggle_delay=20
[IOCARDS MODULE]
IOCard_disable=No
IOCard_LPT=No
[FSUIPC MODULE]
FSUipcdisable=No
FSUipcRefresh=60
[IOCP CLIENTS MODULES]
IOCPini_delay=3000
IOCPclient0_disable=no
IOCPclient0_host=localhost
IOCPclient0_port=8099
IOCPclient1_disable=yes
IOCPclient1_host=localhost
IOCPclient1_port=8092
[SOUND MODULE]
Sound_disable=Yes
Volume=100
[*]
[PMDG B737]
CONFIG_FILE="full path to SIOC folder"\OCP4NGX_v5.5.ssi
MASTER=15,15,1,99
MASTER=31,4,2,xx

The "full path to SIOC folder" must be changed
MASTER=15,15,1,99 is a dummy statement needed for MCP ( without this line the driver will not "see" the MCP
MASTER=31,4,2,xx the xx must be changed to correct usb connection number(see SIOC device window)

You must change all the MCP code in the script so it uses device 31 and the input, output and display numbers to fit your "MCP" hardware
You must change all the MIP script code so it uses the input, output and display numbers to fit your "MIP" hardware

Hello,
thank you for the answer.
It works for my MCP and my MIP
Now for my "lower ovh", which idx should I use? Knowing that all my inputs and outputs from my ovh are on the master card 3.
summary:
idx 31.4, x, 41
x=master 1, all input and output of my MCP.
x=master 2, all input and output of my MIP.
If I set all my inputs and outputs from my ovh in master 3, this does not work no inputs from my ovh are recognized.
thank you

[PMDG B737]
CONFIG_FILE="full path to SIOC folder"\OCP4NGX_v5.5.ssi
MASTER=15,15,1,99
MASTER=31,4,3,41
MASTER=30,4,2,98

and change ovh script code to use device 31 and your specific input numbers

if you get flickering switches in the virtual ovh panel on switches you do not have in your hardware, you must disable them in script
