A320 Bat 1 & 2 display

[bindook]

Hi folks,
I have just started in looking at getting the Bat 1 & 2 display working.

I'm trying to find the easiest way to do it.

1) Using opencockpits card - have no idea in sioc programming :(

2) Hardwiring the 7 segments so they are permanently on

are there any other ways of showing the display???



Any ideas?

Thanks

Michael

It's easy to solve with Opencockpits hardware and JeeHell FMGS.
For wiring the digital displays to the Diplaycard there is a manual available at OC.
You make the assignment of the digits in SIOC Creator.
That's all. Easy to do without any programming knowledge.
Note: Be careful when purchasing the digital displays, they should also have a "." dot.
I had not taken this into consideration.

thanks ... I did look in to it for a brief moment .

Couldn't find any doc's on it . I did notice that when I started the sioc that there was a jeehell.ssi file? Is that the way it should be?

when installing JeeHell FMGS you must select Opencockpits (SIOC).
In the directory hardware modules you can find a file sioc creator.
With this tool, you do the assignments.

Hi Fritz,
i'm having trouble getting the display to work.

I set everything up using sioc creator & configured the sioc.ini file. No error messages come up.

Is there anything else I need to do??


Thanks

I'm assuming that you have configured your sioc.ini properly.
You know the correct device number and have specified this in sioc_creator.
Have you ever checked whether the digits light up only with sioc?

Have you read this manual? https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiznO-K4uPKAhWBgA8KHcS0BPgQFggkMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opencockpits.com%2Fuploads%2Fmanuales%2FIOCard_Displays_II_Manual_2012_REV2.2_English.pdf&usg=AFQjCNEuj8LPqCbeFD_RHxtQQPg-KPgV9Q
