Dave,

Take a look at http://www.epicmapper.com there is a tutorial and
language syntax reference there that is up to date

Subject: [simpits-tech] EPIC programming
Hey guys,
=20
I hope everyone is doing well with the holidays approaching. :-)
=20
I have a question on programming an EPIC setup. This may qualify as
"hand-holding" but I need help getting started with this thing. The docs
I have don't help me and they also seem to be focused on the ISA EPIC
and pre-Epicenter software. I have the USB EPIC card with one expansion
card, and one EMDA card. Initially I will only be using pushbuttons and
toggle switches with the card. What would I need in the EPL file to
initialize one row of switches connected to the EMDA?
=20
Also, I have a USB joystick. Do I still need an analog stick connected
to the expansion card for everything to work correctly? I feel that this
should not be this complicated, but none of the attempts I have made
have worked. If someone has a similar setup and could send me a small
example of a EPL -or- if someone is willing to right a small EPL program
that shows how I define the EMDA card, it would mean a lot.=20
=20
Sorry to pester the group with this, but if I can just understand how to
start programming this thing, I think I can eventually figure it out.=20
=20
Thanks!!

Dave
