Hi people can you help me wth the Pin-out on the OC stepper Card. I need to find out wich of the
3 pins ( j3-j5 ) are the Common, Input and 5V

Thanks

Hi Marnus

Look here: USBStepper (http://www.opencockpits.com/index.php/en/download/category/usbstepper)
and download the manual and you should find the schematic.

Pin 1 = GND
Pin 2 = Signal
Pin 3 = +5V

Here is another great source of information:
Opencockpits USBStepper Motor Card Review (http://mutleyshangar.com/reviews/jack/smc/smc.htm)

Happy stepping ;-)

Hi Marnus,

You may find something here: Boeing 767 Simulator Project: dicembre 2010 (http://b767sim.blogspot.no/2010_12_01_archive.html)
Edoardo does go in another direction now, but back then he was not very
happy about the OC A/D converter with just 256 levels ;-)

Leo Bodnar and FSUIPC are your friends or maybe even better just use an Encoder.
