Part 1: Hardware Architecture
The follow information is provided to help the simulator builder choose a
hardware architecture for their simulator. This section and this entire document
is written around the EPIC system (EPIC Home Page) and the modules designed
to connect to EPIC and the software written to work with EPIC. I will attempt to
include information on third-party EPIC hardware and software when I can find it.
1.1 R&R EPIC Hardware Descriptions
EPIC is the Extended Programmable
Input/Output Controller . EPIC USB is a
USB interface card designed for computer
enthusiasts, home cockpit builders, and for
specialized analog/digital I/O applications.
EPIC USB, when used with the appropriate
modules, allows the use of analog potentiometers,
switches, LED's, motors, meters, etc., to provide inputs to or accept
outputs from a computer program such as a flight simulator. Using EPIC USB's
advanced interface, you can read the position values of analogs 0 through 15 in
approximately 28μs. EPIC USB also supports bi-directional command and data
queuing and can generate hardware interrupts. Button events can be queued by
EPIC USB until retrieved by a program, and programs can "fake" button events,
initiate execution of EPL procedures, and transfer data to the EPIC for
autonomous processing by multiple "smart" modules.
Features:
Control up to 22 analogs (potentiometers) when used with the EPIC
Expansion Module
Control up to 255 buttons (when used with the EPIC Expansion Module)
Completely programmable using the EPICenter environment to produce
EPL code
USB Plug and Play interface (compatible with Windows 2000 and XP)
1.1.1 EPIC Expansion Module
The EPIC Expansion Module provides
connectors for analog potentiometers, switches
and the EPIC Bus. The EPIC Bus is used to
connect additional EPIC modules (such as the
Output Module) to EPIC USB. Standard analog
and Thrustmaster joysticks can connect to EPIC
USB via the DB15 connectors on the Expansion
Module; however, some rewiring of the joystick may be required.
4
Features: Access to 16 analogs (using a 16 pin connector) Access to 255 buttons (using a 40 pin connector)
Access to the EPIC Bus (using a 26 pin connector)
1.1.2 EPIC 32 Point Output Module
The 32 Point Output Module allows up to 32 dual state
(off/on) devices to be controlled by the EPIC USB.
Output devices include light emitting diodes
(LEDs), incandescent lights, buzzers, and even
steppers motors. Multiple Output Modules can be
daisy chained if more than 32 outputs are required.
Features:
Control 32 dual state functions per Output Module
Daisy chain to increase the number of outputs beyond 32
1.1.3 EPIC 32 Digit Display Module
The EPIC 32 Digit Display Controller allows the
EPIC USB to drive up to 32 numerical LED
displays. These displays can be used in any
panel which requires numerical readouts.
Features:
Control up to 32 LED numerical digits
1.1.3 EPIC Rotary Module
The EPIC Rotary Module allows you to connect
up to 16 mechanical and 4 optical rotary
switches to the EPIC USB. Additional Rotary
modules can be added if additional inputs are
required.
Features:
Access to up to 16 mechanical and 4 optical rotary switches
1.1.4 EPIC Gauge/Meter Module
The EPIC Gauge/Meter Module allows you to connect up to 8 instruments to
the EPIC USB. Trim potentiometers mounted on the board allow for precise
calibration of each instrument.
5
Features: Control up to 8 instruments simultaneously
