Pedestal panels integration

[Antonio Jose]

Hello diogofcr

I use several hardware.
For inputs, I use Leo Bodnar boards.
For outpus, you can use arduino Mega boards with mobiflight software. You can also check the "Arduino Cards & Link2FS" thread in this forum.

To best integrate Jeehell software is using the SIOC creator, that is intended to use with the opencockpit boards.

Thank you, but how did you link SIOC with Arduino? Did you just create fsuipc offsets?

[Antonio Jose]

Yes,

By change the line to:
Var 0001, name RMP1Act_disp, Link FSUIPC_OUT Offset $66C0 Length 4

It will write to the offset $66C0 the active frequency. With the offset value in place, you just can send it to the arduino.

Hi there Jeehell

I'm still struggling with the pedestal.

I configure the SIOC creator for the FCU,RMP, ACP and XPRD. I compile and run the software.
In SIOC monitor, I see changes in all VARs except the ones for the ACPs.

The applylog.txt in "Hardware Modules" says this:
Starting process
Compiler path: C:\SIOC\sioc_compiler.Exe
sioc_compiler.Exe exists
CreateIOCKeysINI OK
sioc.ini exists
FMGSServer.iocp.ini initialized
JeeHellWare.txt initialized
MCDU not enabled
FO MCDU not enabled
XPDR enabled
XPDR OK
RMP enabled
RMP OK
FCU enabled
EFIS OK
EFIS not enabled
Low OVHD not enabled
Upper OVHD not enabled
MISC not enabled

Finished writing
compiling...
compiling OK

It's says EFIS OK but I don't use, FCU don't say OK but works, ACP don't even appear.
The sofware ACP panel works fine.

I will check. Do you have the variables for ACP in the produced SSI script?

[Antonio Jose]

Hi there Jeehell,

Yes, the variables are in the ssi script and the FMGSServer.iocp.ini also have them with the var number
Another thing that I notice is this:
Open SIOC Creator, check for use FCU, RMP and ACP. Save config file. Exit SIOC Creator.
When I open the SIOC Creator and load the saved config file, the ACP is unckecked.

It looks like everything is configured, but not talking with SIOC.

By the way, I want to thanks for all the your replies.

[jeehell]

I found some issues, they will be solved in next release.

[Antonio Jose]

Hello Jeehell,

Thanks a lot for the response. I will wait for the next release.

[jeehell]

Yesterday I pushed 48.2, please tell me if it makes any difference?

[Antonio Jose]

Hi there Jeehell,

I installed the new version and still no lights in the call buttons in the ACPs.
Here's my test:
With SIOC Creator, the generated script is:
Var 1, name ACP1VHF1SWdled, Link IOCARD_OUT, Output 21


Var 2, name ACP1VHF1SWuled, Link IOCARD_OUT, Output 20


Var 3, name ACP1VHF2SWdled, Link IOCARD_OUT, Output 23


Var 4, name ACP1VHF2SWuled, Link IOCARD_OUT, Output 22

Then, I turn on the batteries in the aircraft and make the ANN Lt Test.
All the light became ON except the ACPs. I'm checking the changes with the IOCPConsole.

The ACPs software Panels works fine.
