View Full Version : SIOC code issues - Can someone take a look?

I have been modifying existing sioc script for use with the Learjet45. I am having a strange problem I cannot figure out but suspect it has to do with the inputs. Most of my switches (except for lights) are AML21s which can be setup as latching toggles (push in On, push again Off) or as Momentary if I remove a spring clip. In this code I have Battery setup as a momentary, Avionics is a toggle. Gear lever is a toggle switch (ON-OFF SPST)

1. All of the leds on my mcp (fgc) are lit at startup and turn off when I press the buttons for each (I am using momentary switches from OC which are the same ones used in their MCP modules)

2. My red landing gear transit lights are on when I start up and should be off.

3. I have some toggle switches that are three position, ON-OFF-ON that I am trying to use for my Taxi and Light switch. In the Learjet when the switch is down the landing and taxi are off. In middle position just the Taxi Light will be on and in Up position the Landing Gear lights will be on. How can I code this if it is even possible.

I have USB Expansion with 1 master card, 2 inputs breakouts, 1 outputs breakout and in addition I have a seperate Outputs card (not utilized in this code yet). All outputs are currently driven off the master card.

Thanks for looking....

Here is my current code:

Hi Scott, fun isn't it ;)

In answer to 1 & 2 I would try initialization everything into Value 0000. Remember this is a special value which gets run at startup and startup only, so put all the "cold & dark" parameters in here instead of at the head of each section. I suspect that your MCP is setting all the LED's ON at startup because it doesn't know the state of any of the switches yet, it's only when you press and release one it then knows its state.

As for the Lights toggle switch I would think this should be easy enough. Define your two ON positions as separate variables connected to the relative OC switches then make a few statements to the effect of: If Var 102 = 1 (switch Down) then Taxi & Landing = 0, If Var 102 = 0 and Var 101 = 0 (switch middle) then Landing = 0 and Taxi = 1, If Var 101 = 1 (switch Up) then Taxi =0 and Landing =1.

See how that goes.

well, I tried moving the initialization variables but still didnt work. It is wierd because all outputs seem to be working exactly opposite of what they should be. anyone else have any ideas?

Are you sure you have the LED's wired correctly onto your output card? It seems like you may have connected one leg to the 5volts instead of Ground. If ALL outputs work opposite then there must a (simple) common denominator. Try initializing all your outputs to "1" i.e. ON and see if they start OFF.

i think the wiring is all good because I had it all (MCP and Landing gear indicators) working fine before when I had them on my Outputs card. What I did was move them onto the Master Card now (Outputs card is not in use). It is on the Master Card with this new sioc file that is giving me the issue. I thought I figured it out last night because there is a ground terminal on the output breakout board for the master card that I didnt have hooked up but alas, hooking this to ground didnt change anything.

Everything is still running exactly opposite of how it should :-(

Nico?? Any ideas?

Forgive me if I am saying something obvious or already known. The OC Output card has a common positive output rail, switching individual outputs on through the negative side. Whereas the Master card has common negative rail, switching on individual outputs through the positive side.

Whether this has any relevance will depend on how you transposed the wires from one card to another. Apologies again if you already know this

No...I didnt know that. Well that makes sense now. I guess since I already have all these wired I will just have to move them all back to the Outputs card.

That is very helpful David
Thank you

Thanks again David!

You solved my problem. Everything is working fine now.
