Hi folks,

 

Trying to wrap my head around SIOC scripts but having a little trouble and looking for a little guidance. My goal is to have the PMDG 737NGX light up some LEDs on a panel via FSUIPC offsets.

 

I have a O/C Usb Expansion Card > Master Card > Outputs Breakout Card > LED

 

Using the SIOC test panel, the LED works as expected when output 18 is on/off. So connection wise to the hardware we look good.

 

I also have the [sDK] EnableDataBroadcast=1 in the 737NGX_Options.ini file.

 

So I thought I'd start simple and get the parking brake light to turn on/off (output 18). The 737NGX offset PDF list the parking brake as:

 

Offset: 65A7

Length: 1

Date Type: BYTE

Name: PED_annunParkingBrake

Notes: Boolean

 

So here's the script I put together:

 

var 9010 name pb_state LINK FSUIPC_IN Offset $65A7 Length 1
 {
   IF &pb_state = 0
   {
  &pb_led = 0
   }
   ELSE
   {
  &pb_led = 1
   }
 }

var 9011 name pb_led Link IOCARD_OUT Output 18 // LED

 

And my sioc.ini (this is the OCP4NGX ini file, I just point the config to my script. Should that be ok?)

 

[sIOC]
IOCP_port=8092
IOCP_timeout=4000
Minimized=No
toggle_delay=20

CONFIG_FILE=.\Parking_Brake_Light.ssi
[CONFIG_FILE=.\OCP4NGX_MCP-EFIS_PP v1.05 - custom.ssi]

[iOCARDS MODULE]
IOCard_disable=No
IOCard_LPT=No

[MASTERS]
MASTER=0,5,1,41
MASTER=1,4,1,62

[FSUIPC MODULE]
FSUipcdisable=No
FSUipcRefresh=60

[iOCP CLIENTS MODULES]
IOCPini_delay= 3000
IOCPclient0_disable=no
IOCPclient0_host=localhost
IOCPclient0_port=8099
IOCPclient1_disable=yes
IOCPclient1_host=localhost
IOCPclient1_port=8092

[sOUND MODULE]
Sound_disable=Yes
Volume=100

 

Master 0 is a O/C P&P MCP and 1 is the USB/Master Card.

 

I noticed if I open the IOCP Console in SIOC, the two variables are both listed as "1" regardless if the parking brake is on or off. But I also figured if the PB_LED var is 1, it should at least turn the LED on.

 

So that's why I'm not sure what I'm missing at this point.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

A mycockpit.org user showed me what I was missing. I needed to add "device 1" to my output string and voila, it worked.

Hello, can you please clarify how the final code looks like then? I will be soon starting my on LEDs and annunciators with the OC card and all help I can get is apriciated since I have nver done much in SIOC before.

Thank you!
