Title: opencockpits cdu with psxseecon unresponsive buttons
Post by: siliconbase on Tue, 14 Nov 2017 20:30
Hi,

I'm using two opencockpits CDU's running on two seperate pc's with the latest psxseeecon64. Lately both of them get not responding after running a while. sometimes the F/O gets unresponsive sometimes CP sometimes both.

When they are unresponsive I can see the screen changes on psxseecon displays so I think psxseecon is working but I cannot change anything using hw cdus. I also try sioc monitor and send all leds on, the hw leds are on without problems but the hw buttons are not working.

I restart psxseecon and sometimes this fixes it.

I don't know what is wrong and I couldn't find a way to debug it.

Can someone help pls?

Thanks,
Bora

HI,

I have the same problem which i find is down to the USB port not functioning so i have to unplug and re-plug to get the software to work.

Thanks
Kev

Make sure that you change the power settings in you windows environment to "always on" otherwise USB ports can be powered down to save power...
I use two CDUs on an old laptop and have no issues.
