PSX - Opencockpits SIOC connector released!

[kiek]

I'm happy to announce the release of yet another add-on for PSX: psxseecon.

psxseecon connects PSX with the SIOC software of Opencockpits. It acts as a bridge between these two worlds.

1767 SIOC Variables, representing approximately 90% of the functionality of the PSX interface, are already available (more to come). These variables give access to states and controls of PSX.

psxseecon detects the PSX SIOC variables in your scripts automatically.

The version released (1.0.1) is an open beta. Please post your comments, questions and feedback in my psxseecon forum at MyCockpit.org

More information about psxseecon, and information about where to download,  can be found at my web site

EDIT March 27, 2018, we are at version 3.16 with 2220 variables.

regards,
Nico Kaan

Many, many, many THANKS.

This will great opportunities as this interface to OpenCockpit Cards

[size=14]is nearly plug-and-play ![/size]

Congrats! Amazing job!

Hi Nico,
Thank you very much for this important piece of software, without it is not possible for me to interface PSX to my ( future) hardware cockpit .
Great job,
Ivo

Hi Nico,

Well done

I guess you will build a 747 now?  

Inspirational work. If you ever travel to Australia.
My sim door is open for yourself.

Great work Nico!
This will bring my OC MCP back to life...
Having been using your great software with the Level-D 767 & the iFly 737

Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
could this also mean that my Precision Flight Controls console Cirrus II with serial interface can be connected with PSX via FSX/FSUIPC/SIOC? Works fine in FSX with all controls available via FSUIPC.

If you write a SIOC script that read/writes these FSUIPC offsets and transforms these to/from psxseecon SIOC variables, I'd think so, yes.

You do not need any Opencockpits hardware, SIOC will also run without.

Today I released PSXseecon version 1.1.0 with 1990 variables. This is the first official release; it's no longer a beta (thanks go to Jean-Philippe and Blake for testing).

Do note that the installation procedure has changed. It is now more like Aerowinx PSX, VisualPSX and TrafficPSX. No installer, no registry entries, just 6 files. Here are the Release Notes.

Cheers,
Nico
N.B. and I changed the name from psxseecon to PSXseecon (being member of the family   )

I love the simplicity with which PSXseekon work, but am having difficulty with the 7-seg displays.  My homebuilt MCP works 100% with respect to rotaries, pushbuttons, switches and LEDs.  However, I cannot get any correct value from the digit variables.  For example, the heading variable (2033) only ever transmits the number 2730 decimal according to the SIOC IOCP Console.

Any tips as to what I have missed?  All the digits check out perfectly when tested with the Controlador.exe

I've tried Nick's forum on MyCockpit, but my posts are not displaying.

Cheers,
Richard

Code below. The segment below is compiled along with 1_digit.txt

Var 2033 Static name McpWdoHdg      
{
  CALL &DecBCD3 &McpWdoHdg
  &D_Hdg0 = &Digit0
  &D_Hdg1 = &Digit1
  &D_Hdg2 = &Digit2
}

 Var 9300 name D_Hdg0   Link IOCARD_DISPLAY Device 0 Digit 0 Numbers 1
 Var 9301 name D_Hdg1   Link IOCARD_DISPLAY Device 0 Digit 1 Numbers 1
 Var 9302 name D_Hdg2   Link IOCARD_DISPLAY Device 0 Digit 2 Numbers 1

Hello Richard,

However, I cannot get any correct value from the digit variables.  For example, the heading variable (2033) only ever transmits the number 2730 decimal according to the SIOC IOCP Console.  

2730 decimal is AAA hexadecimal, or three blanks in PSXseecon.

Could it be that you have not checked Situation->Equipment>MCP and displays LCD version?

Cheers,
Nico
P.S. I can see your post in my forum, so please continue over there, thx.

Thanks Nico.

You are, of course, correct.  Thanks for this great piece of software.    Everything works perfectly now.

Hi guys,

PSXseecon version 1.4.0 released, with CDU screen support:

.

You now no longer need a PSX instance for it.
Read more about it in the Manual, section 3.19.


Cheers,
Nico

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that version 3.0 is available for download at my site.
Please study the Release Notes carefully, because the deployment policy has changed.

Regards,
Nico

Does anyone know if it is possible to assign a physical key to change the CDU from L/C/R in live use rather than manually change CDU_L/CDU_C/CDU_R in PSXseecon.cfg.

I was hoping to emulate what I already have in software with PSX Remote on the Ipad, in that I can change the CDU live and without delay.

Thanks in advance.

Graham.

Hi Graham,
Yes that is possible with PSXseecon. I have a rotary switch
implemented for that. See the SIOC script in PSXcockpit.zip and or the PSXseecon Manual.

Hi,

Version 3.2 is available for download at my site. Here are the Release Notes.

[asboyd]

Hi Nico,
Just installed 3.2 clean and when I ran it it did not create PSXseecon.cfg even though I was also running SIOC 5.1 and PSX on the same machine. Is this now normal? The manual still states it will create the file on the first start up.

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

No that's a bug. I will fix it in the next version.
Thank you for reporting.

Nico

Thanks Nico,
You are making my cockpit build so much easier than I thought it would be.

Keep up the great work.
