Help getting CDU v1 to work (SOLVED)

Post by snoopy6129 »

I have an Opencockpits CDU v1 that I am having problem getting it to work with PMDG 733NGX with P3D v3. SIOC Monitor does display key values went I press any keys on the CDU. IOCP Console however, does not. I was told that I may need to tweak a setting because the CDU is an older model. Is any familiar with this?

My SIOC.ini has the following configuration (I only have an EFIS and CDU P&P modules at the moment):

[SIOC]
IOCP_port=8092
IOCP_timeout=4000
Minimized=Yes
toggle_delay=20
[IOCARDS MODULE]
IOCard_disable=No
IOCard_LPT=No
[FSUIPC MODULE]
FSUipcdisable=No
FSUipcRefresh=60
[IOCP CLIENTS MODULES]
IOCPini_delay= 3000
IOCPclient0_disable=yes
IOCPclient0_host=localhost
IOCPclient0_port=8099
IOCPclient1_disable=yes
IOCPclient1_host=localhost
IOCPclient1_port=8092
[SOUND MODULE]
Sound_disable=Yes
Volume=100
[*]
[PMDG B737]
CONFIG_FILE=OCP4NGX_PP_v2.0.ssi
USBKeys=13,17
MASTER=7,7,1,45

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to change your SIOC-script.

As the script is written for the CDUv3, it looks like this:
...
Var 0621, name CDU1, Link IOCARD_KEYS, device 13 // FMC/CDU1_CAPT
...

If you want to use the older CDU v2 based on an USBKey card you must change every var for the CDU like below:
...
Var 0621, name CDU1, Link USB_KEYS, device 13 // FMC/CDU1_CAPT
...

If you want to use the status LED of your CDU, you'll have to connect them to a Master card and change these entries, too.

fschrewe,

That worked. Much appreciated.

I actually have a used CDU v1 that I brought. My understanding is that this version doesn't support LED annunciations. Thus, there's no need for me to worry about bring in a Master Card into this setup at the moment.

Thanks again.
