I've spent countless hours trying to get my MCP to work. In hindsight I should have bought the P&P but that's a lesson learned.
I have Hispapanels PCB for the MCP. I initially connected all switches and encoders to a Leo Bodnar card. Using LINDA, i was able to get the switches to work correctly. What was missing were the LEDs behind the pushbuttons. I could try to use SIMIO (by Hispapanel) but it would require me to code to PMDG offsets. I decided to buy OC USBExpansion, Master Card, Input/Output Connection boxes. I also bought Roar's drivers.
I am having some bad connection issues with MCP PCB and OC cards. Lots of flashing in SIOC monitor once I connect the ground connection to the INPUT Connection box.
Now my plan is to go back to the Leo Bodnar cards. But I need to figure out how to get the status of the switches. Roar suggested using IOCP.sendVarData(1285, sPmdgData.MCP_annunVNAV.
My question is where do I put this in the SIOC script? Should I simply read the value at the start of the SIOC script or at the point I want to test for a change?
Thanks in advance.
