Assignment of DCMotors Plus card

[Skycowboy]

Hej Roar,

are there a SIOC EVENT for Indikation whether the aircraft touched down (means on ground)?

If I change the SIOC txt lines mostly Compilation is no problem. Now and again (sheldom) the Oi4FS
driver didn‘ active completely because hardware actions e.g. on the OVH not possible - but if I change a little bit e.g. thrust lever or flap lever then the driver will run corectly. I guess poti noise.
What could I do? You mentioned a noise filter, but how looks it and how could I integrate it.
To change the hardware potis by e.g. hall sensors would be the last possibility:

Send me an updated script so I can take a deep look at it to see if I can improve it.

Hi All

I'm trying to write a script for my TQ. It uses the Opencockpits DCMotorPlus card, which I have assigned as IDX 14.

I'm finding SIOC rather confusing. I've looked at the SIOC tutorial on Lekseecon website, and the example given for a 2 way switch is written as:

Var 1 Link IOCARD_SW Input 23 Type I // I means "on/off" switch.

I'm trying to script the Parking Brake, which uses a 2 way switch, but obviously it needs the correct variable, device & input, so I've written it like this:

Var 2338, name PARK_BR, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 14, Input 4, Type I // Parking Brake Lever

However, this doesn't move the PMDG lever when I move the TQ lever, but I can hear to sound of the brakes being released, so something is happening.
Do I need to add more to the event line or is this sufficient, and something else is the problem?

Also, is there a variable for the parking brake light? please.

Thanks.

Regards

I do not think you can set Parking Brake with just a click on the Lever in the virtual cockpit

To set parking brake, hold down on your toe brake for 2 seconds then press the Lever.
To release press the toe brake and parking brake is disengage.

To illustrate, there is a good Youtube video from 737NG Driver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQsKNo5o0Tc

Parking Brake annunciator: try Variable 1391

Thanks very much for the information.

Where do you get the variable numbers from? Are they specific to your software or can any numbers be used providing it’s not duplicated? I have two additional annunciators on my MIP, which aren’t standard from Opencockpits. They’re the Take Off Config & Cabin Altitude, which I need to add.

Here is the Events (Inputs) and Variables(Outputs) that are implemented in Oi4FS for the PMDG 737

SIOC events for STAB_TRIM SWITCH on PEDESTAL

2727 = STAB_TRIM_OVRD_SWITCH
2728 = STAB_TRIM_OVRD_SWITCH_GUARD

SIOC events for CONTROL STAND STAB_TRIM

2347 = CONTROL_STAND_STABTRIM_AP_SWITCH
2348 = CONTROL_STAND_STABTRIM_AP_SWITCH_GUARD
2349 = CONTROL_STAND_STABTRIM_ELEC_SWITCH
2350 = CONTROL_STAND_STABTRIM_ELEC_SWITCH_GUARD

here is an example of script code used for a guarded OVH switch that could be used:

Screenshot 2022-08-21 121430.jpg

static is used to make sure the compilation does not change the variable numbers
the static variable numbers must be correct to set correct function

I too am trying to get the switch guards to move with the switch. In the usable example you give there are 3 variables, which are 2 for static and 1 for input. What is the 3rd variable I can use please being as only 2 are listed above. 1 for switch and 1 for guard.

Regards

The 3rd is the input used to handle the guard and switch Events and that input Var number is a free Var number.
