Big thanks Mark
It help alot.... now I have send "Pegasus" an email for help on the =
F4memreader
...the trick with the .DLL file did'nt help
Just info...if any thing pubs up in your mind:
My EPIC:
Rev E 12 Mhz
EPROM v5.06 0x590C

OK, you made me look it up! ;-)
It looks to me from the Microcockpit web site that you have the R&R =
(Ralph's) module for hooking up encoders. I think my brain was out to =
lunch a bit yesterday: ignore he type "3" comment, that was bogus.
The Rotary module's address is "7" so you have that bit right but it =
is good for 20 encoders each with 2 input switch bits so that's:
definemodule(7, FASTSCAN, 0, 5) // only need 5 rows to cover 20x2 =
bits
You can make them FASTSCAN if you want but you may not need to do that =
if you are short on FASTSCAN rows.it's no big loss if you miss the odd =
click on the encoder knob (this is a bit dependent on the type of =
encoder you have I guess). FWIW, I'm just using FASTSCAN for HOTAS, ICP =
mostly since those are the most used.
However, you also need to set the type of encoder you have for each =
one connected. That requires you also to define the output side of =
module 7 thus:
definemodule(7, OUTPUT, 0, 3) // one bit per, last 4 in row 2 not =
used
With these you can then use setpoint() (in the INIT() function is =
probably good) to CW/CCW or 2 phase depending on the devices that you =
have hooked up. In general if you have CW/CCW devices (the assumed =
default) you can actually get away without programming the type bit =
using setpoint() but if you have 2 phase devices then you have to put a =
"1" into the corresponding bit position in module 7's rows, like this:
setpoint(7, 1, 0b00000001) // encoder #8 on mod 7 is a 2 phase
Hope that helps. See if you can find a copy of "rotary.pdf" which is =
the docs file for the R&R Rotary module - it has all this stuff and a =
few more examples in it besides.
Cheers,
Mark.

Thanks Mark - vervy helpfull !
My Rotary module is from Microcockpit
will the code then be ok !
#define FASTSCAN 0
#define SLOWSCAN 1
#define OUTPUT 2
DefineModule(0, FASTSCAN, 0, 8) // EPICUSBmodule //
DefineModule(1, SLOWSCAN, 0, 16) // 64BTNmodule //
DefineModule(2, SLOWSCAN, 0, 16) // 64BTNmodule //
DefineModule(7, FASTSCAN, 0, 8) // ROTARYmodule //
DefineModule(0, OUTPUT, 0, 16) // OUTPUTmodule //
I'll try the trick with the EPICIO.DLL later to day
and let you and other now... then, if it's not working
i'll concat Martin direct. !

Hi all !
I have a prob. with F=A4memreader...
It says that it can't find EPIC... what do i do wrong...
a follow Martins inst. instruction ???
[Mark Doran] This is almost certainly a problem with the version of =
EPICIO.dll you have on the system. There's an unpredictable combination =
that you have to find between the ROM load (checksum determines which it =
is), the version number of the EPICIO.dll, and the version of Martin's =
code that you have. Not all combinations work. I've had to work at it =
each time I upgrade the EPIC USB ROM load to find a combo that works. =
And frankly, I'm still have a number of problems with analog data and =
pigeon holes that make me think the only answer is going to a model of =
rebuilding Martin's code with each version of the EPICIO.dll that there =
is; this is not a good thing but may be unavoidable L L
One quick trick to try: as I recall, when you unpack Martin's code =
there's a version of EPICIO.dll in the directory with the F4Reader.exe. =
This takes precedence over the one in your \windows\blahblah directory =
from the EPIC install process. Try changing the name of the copy of =
EPICIO.dll in the f4Reader directory (martins_epicio.dll or something) - =
that should force the system to give you the one you installed with the =
EPIC - that might be enough right there.
I would recommend sending Martin an email direct if you can't crack =
the problem by switching EPICIO.dll versions: he's incredibly helpful!
My system:
Windows XP
EPICUSB
EXPANSION module
ABA with 5x 64BTN module
4x 32OUTPUT module
1x ROTARY module
and now that we are on it ;o)
Please confirm that the following code is correct for my system:
#define FASTSCAN 0
#define SLOWSCAN 1
#define OUTPUT 2
DefineModule(0, FASTSCAN, 0, 8)
DefineModule(1, SLOWSCAN, 0, 16)
DefineModule(2, SLOWSCAN, 0, 16)
DefineModule(7, FASTSCAN, 0, 16)
DefineModule(0, OUTPUT, 0, 16)
[Mark Doran] There's one bug. You can't have more than 16 rows =
designated as FASTSCAN; you have 24 above. Also, who's rotary module =
are you using?? If it's one of Ralph's you need a type "3" define =
module for it. We're using a different type that just wires in as a =
regular pair of switch throws so it uses type 1 or 0.if that's what you =
have too then you are probably ok.
Cheers,
Mark.
