There need to be semi-colons after the setpoint() and clearpoint() calls
(i.e. before each closing curly brace. Also the terms "keypress1" and
"keypress2" are not defined - the compiler tries to interpret those are
module/row/button specifiers and can't unless you either a) use the
correct syntax inline in the definebutton() statement or #define them to
be something that matches the correct syntax.
The EPICenter compiler will give you clear error messages for all of the
above. If you didn't see those I wonder if you are actually building
the code in EPICenter or just trying to download it. If you don't
compile it first, you won't see the error messages from the compiler
about your bugs in the EPL code and it would also explain why you are
getting an error on a .joy file.the process of compiling generates the
.joy file (and the others required). Are you doing a project->make
before you do a project->load?? The correct process requires a "make"
then a "load" - sorry if you already know that but what you describe
fits a 'missing compile' step so I'm just checking for simple solutions
first! ;-)
Also did you mean to have the "on" press of keypress1 turn the LED on
while the "off" release of the keypress2 turns the light off?? That's
not wrong, just looks a bit odd ;-)
To which module/row/button numbers are the two keys you name keypress1
and keypress2 connected??
I would strongly recommend that you take some time to read the EPIC EPL
tutorials that are scattered around places such as:
http://www.epicmapper.com/SupportPages/en/EPIC/CommandRef/CmdRef1.htm
A bit out of date versus the newest of the new compilers but it's an
online copy of Ralph's documentation. Plus there's a more tutorial
treatment at the same site:
http://www.epicmapper.com/SupportPages/en/EPIC/EpicTutorial.htm
Seems to be incomplete at the end but great as far as it does go.
And once you get the basic switches sorted out you will probably want to
play with Martin Schmit's most excellent F4Reader and the pigeon hole
EPL coding that you can read about at Martin's site:
http://www.xflight.de/f16/index_e.htm
then look under "simulator->Communication->EPIC"
Lots of good help to get you going.
Cheers,
Mark.

Hi Guys !
Whats wrong here:
#define FASTSCAN 0
definemodule(0,FASTSCAN,0,7)
#define OUTPUT 2
definemodule (0,OUTPUT,0,4)
#define Testled 0,0,0b00000001
:LedOn {setpoint(Testled)}
:LedOff {clearpoint(Testled)}
definebutton(keypress1,on,LedOn)
definebutton(keypress2,off,LedOff)
All the best
Frank
