Guys and Gals

 

Finally solved.

Yes Roar and Fred

You were right. Power problem. As you said Fred 'Have a look in the old drawer'

And that's where I found the 5V 1A Power supply

And voila It works.

 

Thx for the Skype call Fred

 

Thx Ian

Hello,

My name is Ron otherwise known as Granpa. I was directed tothis forum by Roar whom has been helping me get my MCP and Efis working with my PMDG acft.

 

History :

 

1 checked verions of FSUIPC and SIOC downloaded and installed latest files

2 downloaded the PMDGMCPEFIS from Opencockpits

3 checked file locations and verified they are all in correct places.

4 checked power supplies and USB ports for operation CHecked good

5 ran SIOC monitor and all switches work

6 ran FSX with SIOC and IOCP with IFly acft all okay

7 ran FSX as Admin loaded PMDG acft

8 ran SIOC as admin SIOC loaded and tested MCP and EFIS okay

9 returned to FSX setup FSUIPC to log IPC reads IPC writes, Lua logging

10 set up the 66E variables to write to screen all results were 0x0

11 removed and reinstalled FSUIPC and Sioc no change except I now had to get my IFLY acft working again

12 addes Lua files to FSUIPC ini

13 Added c:\program files\iocards\sioc\pmdgmcpefis.ssi (renamed by me from ngxmcpefis_pp_202.ssi) as mentioned above it loads and I can test the panels with SIOC Monitor

 

As I informed Roar and Alejandro (Opencockpits) I am totally lost, so,I dialed back to the beginning of this forum and and scanned the emails and tried just about everything I saw as options, I am willing to load my ?ini, .ssi, log files if it will shed light on this.

 

My FSX setup

 

D: Fsx

Fsuipc is in d:FSX\Modules

Lua files are in FSX\Modules

Sioc is in c:\program files\iocards\sioc

SIOC files are in same directory as SIOC.exe

I do have acceleration installed

 

I removed any UAC and run everything as admin

I made sure I had all permissions to all affected directories

I have to admit that I am a little aprehensive about loosing my IFly setting so I perform backup after backup just in case I loose those settings

 

PART of history again

 

To get my Ifly acft working OC worked with me until I got to the point of determining that the problem had to be my hardware and Windows setup so I installed a new hard drive and a new purchesed copy of Windows 7 , yep installed all of FSX and acft, then installed Opencockpits SIOC and Ifly SSI files along with IOCP and yes it was extreme but it did work. i don't think I want to go through that extreme again.

 

Gentlemen I am at your mercy anything you can suggest and any info I can provide just let me know, I am sure I will learn something from all of this , meanwhile I will continue reading the history of this forum and see if there is anything I can glean from your previous posts.

Hi Ron

 

First, that you have it working with the iFly means we should absolutely be able to get it to work with the NGX.

 

From the point where it works with the iFly, in theory all you should have to change is the SIOC.INI CONFIG_FILE= setting to point to the 'ngx'.ssi file rather than the 'iFly'.ssi file.

 

And a coupla things I want to check.

In modules\FSUIPC.ini check that the 2 NGX lua files are in the [Auto] section at the top of FSUIPC.ini

You are running the latest sioc V4+ and the latest FSUIPC mine is v4.805

Also there's a basic assumption in the ngx.ssi file that the MCP = Device 0 and the EFIS = Device 1 which means the [MASTERS] section in sioc.ini should be something like

[MASTERS]

MASTER=0,5,1,11

MASTER=1,7,1,43 ( the 11 and 43 wil be different for you of course.)

 

Start FSX, load the NGX and after it has initialised THEN start sioc. The MCP may/will look black until you power up the aircraft.

 

Good luck and if that hasn't helped yes please do come back to us with fsuipc.ini, sioc.ini

Okay but sadly due to the time diff, I won't be able to get them to you. To launch the Ifly configuration I use the Opencockpits autoconfig which chooses which configuration I want to launch. I am assuming that this is passing some sort of variable to SIOC or it is just a menu which determine which .ssi file to load.

 

Anyhow I will let you know tomorrow.

 

Thanks for such a rapid response

 

Ron

(aka Granpa)

Okay not to fill the forum with chatter but I meant to say I cannot get them to you until tomorrow. Also Am I to understand that you want me to place the lua file references iin FSUIPC at the top entry in the ini file, right now they are at the end ?

 

Til tomorrow Ron

Ah ha .. that'll help. YES the [Auto] section in Fsuipc.ini should look like this

[Auto]

1=Lua NGXMCP_202

2=Lua NGXEFIS_PP_202 (assuming you haven't renamed them)

 

FSUIPC itself will also add the lua files refs to the end of the file, but we have to do the [Auto] section so it runs those on startup ready/loaded for the NGX to use.

 

I'd also assume the autoconfig is just changing which .ssi to use, we'll do that manually

Look in Sioc.ini for the CONFIG_FILE =

and make it CONFIG_FILE = pmdgmcpefis.ssi (your renamed ngx .ssi)

I am having a lot of trouble trying to attach the files there are five of them as follows:

 

Fsuipc.ini

Fsuipc.log

NGXMCP_202.log

NGCEFIS_202.log

SIOC.ini

 

When I try to attach them I get a "Server Error"

 

I changed their suffix to .txt in hopes that would work same error.

 

If I cut and paste them it becomes a very long post.

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Ron (aka Granpa)

I will insert the smaller files as follows :

Please note that upon emailing Roar I turned the profiles off at his request but got no results so I turned them back on because I already started sewtting up my Ifly acft

 

Ron

Hmm you've got a lot going on there Ron :)

 

My problem solving method is based on simplfy and reduce, I'd suggest back up your two INI files, disconnect all the hardware you can, leave just a basic joystick for control, and your OC hardware. I'll give you my two INI files here, comapre, and edit paths filenames etc to suit, but use mine as your base, keep it as basic and simple as you can, once the OC hardware responds all the other stuff can be added back in. Things I noted in your files were, in the sioc ini your [MASTERS] section is called [ IOCard Master ] which may or may not matter but would seem to be for the IOCard setup (like Roar's) rather than our 'Plug&Play' versions. In FSUIPC.INI I see no [Auto] section and we need to get rid of all those key assignments etc for our 'simplified' test setup.

 

Here's my files

 

 

 

 

 

You'll need to rename both, I had to add the .txt extender to attach them here.

Yep while you were looking at them I was giving them another once over and decided to disconnect All of my other hardware and leave the OC stuff connected.

The AUTO section , when I moved as the first entry the files did not register so I placed them after the GENERAL section and they loaded they are still there but with such a busy file are easy to overlook.

 

I do not know why the IOCard Master is there but I was unwilling to take it out because my Ifly acft were working.

 

I tried renaming my files to .txt but the server would not allow me to upload them. Probably just temperment or my usual fat fingering of the keyboard.

 

So I will print out your files copy and backup mine and try the simple approach

 

I will get some of it done tonight and the rest later in the day tomorrow (darn Honey-Do List, wish I could simulate that)

 

Thank You for your input it always help to have a second opinion and when this thing works believe me I plan on doing a LOT of flying and very little programmin or setup (until I built some of the o/h panels)

 

Give me soemthing that works and I gurantee I will find a way to break it.

 

Ron (aka Granpa)

Okay so I removed everything not relvant to using the OC devices. Then I ran FSX and logged Lua Variables and createwd a new FSUIPC log.

The MCP and EFIS did not work but in the log file I get the following

This goes on for every LUA variable and seems to get caught in a loop because it repeats to the point that my FSUIPC.log was 128 pages long .

 

Any suggestions ??

Alejandro, Roar, Crankpin

 

Okay guys it only took loosing all of my already sparse hair but.................

 

I GOT IT

 

So you may ask what did the trick. Well my Ifly acft was working great so I figured it could not be the hardware WRONG !!

After reading every single post on the AVSIM site since the inception of the PMDG LUA I decided to test the ports that my

EFIS and MCP were plugged into. Noting nothing wrong I changed them anyhow and low and behold the darn thing work.

It appears that both devices are sensitive to the usb port they are plugged into. Don’t ask me how but they are.

 

After hours of reading the following was obvious.

 

1. Sioc communicated with the hardware no problem

2. FSUIPC and LUA communicated with FSX no problem'

3 FSUICP AND LUA did not communicate with the SIOC BIG problem.

 

After following you recommendations I was baffled by this, of course I was now learning more about LUA, SIOC than I ever dreamed of

which was not a bad thing.

 

Soooooo this morning I decided to look strictly at the hardware interface and yep it worked. (moved devices to a different USB port,

I forgot that the USB ports on the front of my computer were basically a USB HUB when I moved the I/F directly to the MB in the back of my computer , welll THEY WORK

 

It always the little things, isn't it ?

 

So please keep in touch and realized that in our small Sim community that friends are made for life.

 

Thanks Much
