MCP no work !SOLVED!

[Cristobal]

I used SIOC cards but not the modules
I modified the entries in the script
I modified the OC4BA.ini to display my MCP:

[AIRCRAFT]
PMDG B737
PMDG B747
PMDG B777
[IDX]
OVH IDX30m2
OVH_Servo1 IDX36
OVH_Servo2 IDX37
EFIS_Captain IDX7
EFIS_FO IDX17
MIP IDX31m1
MIP_Servo1 IDX38
CHRONO_Captain IDX16
CHRONO_FO IDX26
FMC_Captain IDX13
FMC_FO IDX23
COM1 IDX8
NAV1 IDX9
COM2 IDX18
NAV2 IDX19
MCP IDX15m2

The MCP is conecte with Iocard USB expansión card

MCP dont work

Thanks in avance.

Hi

As stated in the documentation you must have an IDX number from 30 to 35 for EXP/MASTER. As you have your own built MCP connected to an EXP/MASTERR you should use number 32 as 30 and 31 is already used by OCH and MIP in the OC4BA.ini

Therefore rename 15 to 32 and also rename all device 15 in the script you use to device 32. That you do by first export the script file (ssi file) to text file. Modify all Device 15 to Device 32 with notepad.exe and then load and re-compile with edit_script in sioc.exe

I now see that my documentation needs to be a little clearer about the numbering scheme for EXP/MASTER

Hello again, which is not bad but I still do not work for me the MPC, I rebuilt everything and I'll try to explain what I have now:

My hardware is currently one MCP built by my connected through a set MASTER AND USB ​​EXTENSION.

1-I reconnected my MCP entries to match the standards I/O presented opencopicks.
2-I have reinstalled SIOC and OC4BA v2
3-I have renamed all the device 15 to device 33 in the ocp4ngx_v2.2.ssi
4-I added MCP IDX33 to the file OC4BA.ini:
[AIRCRAFT]
PMDG B737
PMDG B747
PMDG B777
[IDX]
OVH IDX30m2
OVH_Servo1 IDX36
OVH_Servo2 IDX37
EFIS_Captain IDX7
EFIS_FO IDX17
MIP IDX31m1
MIP_Servo1 IDX38
CHRONO_Captain IDX16
CHRONO_FO IDX26
FMC_Captain IDX13
FMC_FO IDX23
COM1 IDX8
NAV1 IDX9
COM2 IDX18
NAV2 IDX19
MCP IDX33
5- I have opened FSX PMDG B737 OC4BA and configured PMDG B737 - ocp4ngxv2.2.ssi -I OCardUSB device=26 -MCP
6- In SIOC configDevices I linked MASTER USB26 wiht MASTER 33 MCP
7-so it has been my final en SIOC.ini:

[*]
CONFIG_FILE=ocp4ngx_v2.2.ssi
IOCardUSB - Device = 26
33, Device = 26
[ --- SIOC Autoconfig Devices Ver 4.6B1 ==> 22/05/2014 13:28:17 <== ----]
MASTER=33,4,1,26

I guess I do something wrong but it is not.
Sorry for my bad English I speak Spanish
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Sorry for all your issues with this installation. Normally it is very easy to set up and run.

1-I reconnected my MCP entries to match the standards I/O presented opencopicks.

I am a little uncertain what you mean here?

4-I added MCP IDX33 to the file OC4BA.ini:

Here you should add MCP IDX33m1 ( the m1 indicates how many MASTER cards you have connected to the Expansion Card, In you case it is 1 I guess)


5- I have opened FSX PMDG B737 OC4BA and configured PMDG B737 - ocp4ngxv2.2.ssi -I OCardUSB device=26 -MCP
6- In SIOC configDevices I linked MASTER USB26 wiht MASTER 33 MCP

You should only need to to do the linking of the IOCARDUSB device=26 to MCP in the OC4BAConfig, NOT the SIOC configDevices!
Then you should have a sioc.ini that looks like this after [*]

CONFIG_FILE=ocp4ngx_v2.2.ssi
MASTER=33,4,1,26

Then the setup is ready and you should not do this again until you add in more HW or change your script file.


Now you should select aircraft in and mouseclick cockpit window in OC4BA v2 and use MCp

Remember to push CO button on MCP to initialize transmission from PMDG as you don't have any OVH.

THe SDK must also have been initialized. Read MUST READ in OC4BA/Doc.

Hello again

I add MCP IDX33m1

when I run the configurator I have this at the end of my sioc.ini:

[*]
CONFIG_FILE=ocp4ngx_v2.2.ssi
IOCardUSB - Device = 26
33, Device = 26

I have no:

CONFIG_FILE=ocp4ngx_v2.2.ssi
MASTER=33,4,1,26

i have:

[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

in the file 737NGX_Options.ini

I push the MCP C/O button push the screen 737 and copick in OC4BA but I have no communication

Sorry to give you so much work. I am frustrated with this.
Thanks in advance

Hi

I looked into this issue more deeply and believe you have an old PIC on your Expansion Card. This PIC has a different USB string than the latest
Expansion card delivered now from OpenCockpits.

OpenCokcpits don't have any consistent way of naming their USB strings when doing upgrades of their firmware. Due to that I really don't know
how this USB string looks like in all versions of hardware delivered over the years.

But, I will now implement "your" USB string in the next update of OC4BAConfig.

You will need to skip running OC4BAConfig until next update.

What to do then:

Just use the

[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

[*]
CONFIG_FILE=ocp4ngx_v2.2.ssi
MASTER=33,4,1,26


as the sioc.ini configuration

I bought new pics for my USB Expansion cards to Opencopicks and everything works correctly now.
How you said the problem was that the pics were old (2006).

Thank you very much for your technical support has been really fantastic.
