USB Servos are not properly linked in OC4BAv4 Config


Hi there, I noticed something wrong when I create the config. When I link the devices manually in SIOC then I get the below SIOC.INI entries:
MASTER=31,4,1,60
MASTER=13,13,1,46
MASTER=30,4,1,66
USBServos=36,58
USBServos=38,17
USBServos=37,64


But when I link the modules to the operations in OC4BAv4 Config then I get the below (and I dont see thee words "SeroCard1" etc" in the Cockpit Configuration:
MASTER=13,13,1,46
MASTER=30,4,2,66
MASTER=31,4,2,60
36, Device = 58
37, Device = 64
38, Device = 17

It doesnt seem to properly link the servocards. What do you all think it wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

In OC4BAv4/Config you get
MASTER=30,4,2,66
MASTER=31,4,2,60

where the digit 2(third digit) indicate that there is 2 MASTER cards connected to the Expansion Cards. If you only have 1 MASTER Card connected to your Expansion Card you can always
change the IDX30m2 and IDX31m2 in the IOC4BA.ini to IDX30m1 and IDX30m1 before making the configuration. The digit after the m indicates how many MASTER are connected to the Expansion Card.

The Servo linking problem is probably due to some changes in the USB string for new Servo cards. Opencockpits sometime change these strings. I will update the OC4BAv4/Config code.

There is now a new OC4BAv4 4.3.5.0 available. Just click "Check 4 Updates" in your OC4BAv4 screen.
Fine if you could test and report of the Servo Card configuration issue is solved.
