4.1.3 Falcon4 Shared Memory Interfaces
There are a number of hobbyists who have written interfaces to Falcon4 and its
updated versions SP2 and SP3. Falcon4 shares some of its internal data and even
allows inputs to orientate the view when using the virtual cockpit in the 3D world.
This data sharing is implemented via a shared memory interface provided via the
Windows environment. The Falcon4 shared memory interface outputs aircraft data,
data about the light indicators, and other data that will make your simulator more
realistic. This data can be accessed via standard C++ function calls. To obtain one
of these Falcon4 shared memory interfaces or memreaders, check the EPIC forums
or other Falcon4 simulator websites like the one in the link on the title to this
section.
4.2 Homegrown EPL Software
4.2.1 EPICenter
EPICenter is a Windows based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for
configuring, editing, debugging, loading and managing your EPIC USB simulator
files. If you've ever used Borland C++ it should look very familiar. EPICenter is
included on the EPIC USB Installation CD-ROM provided with your EPIC USB
interface card.

4.2.2 Updating EPIC software
The main window is a multi-document interface. You can edit multiple files at the
same time, compile your project, edit your analogs, load your files into the EPIC,
and debug them all from the same main screen. The Project Window has three
entities (your project, your main EPL source file, and your JOY file). Double clicking
on the EPL entity will bring up that file in a text editor; double-clicking on the JOY
entity will bring up the Analog Settings Window. The Debug window (View |
Debug), will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about the innards of
EPICenter and the compiler. The Console window has replaced the old DOS
screen. This window reports any errors while compiling or loading your EPL file.
4.2.3 Installing new EPICenter software
To install new EPICenter software simply unzip the distribution zip file with folder
names enabled (checked). This should place all of the new EPICenter files in the
correct directory, overwriting your old EPICenter files. If the new EPICenter
distribution is accompanied by a new epicio.dll or ,sys file, ensure these files are
unzipped into the proper directory also.

4.2.4 Downloading EEPROM software to EPIC
Once you have the EPIC USB connected to your computer and you have EPICenter
running, you need to download new code to your EPIC EEPROM. The makers of
EPIC are constantly upgrading the capabilities of EPIC and downloading new
EEPROM software will allow you to use these new capabilities. One caution: I
back up my computer before any major upgrade to ensure I can recover from any
inadvertent problems. By performing a backup, if I find my simulator configuration is
not currently compatible with the new EPIC update, I can always revert back to my
previous configuration until the issue is sorted out. To perform the EEPROM
update, go to EPICenter| tools| hardware| load EEPROM. Select the EEPROM file
you wish to load, remember, the checksum is the last 4 digits of the name.
To load the EPIC EEPROM use the following steps:
1. Unplug the EPIC USB cable
2. Remove power from EPICUSB (to remove any running program)
3. Restore power to EPICUSB
4. Plug in the EPIC USB cable
5. Go to EPICenter- Tools | Hardware | LoadEEPROM
6. Select the EEPROM file. This will normally be EPICUSB.BIN or
USBxxxx.Bin where xxxx is the checksum.
7. Enter the checksum in the dialog and click ok. The “sanity” led will blink faster
and the “USB ISR” led will blink with the blocks being loaded. If all goes well the
there will be a final loaded ok message.
8. Unplug the EPIC USB cable
9. Remove power from EPICUSB
10. Restore power to EPICUSB
11. Plug in the EPIC USB cable
12. Run EPICenter – Tools| EPIC_info
13. If Checksum is ok, you are done, if not, retry from step 1 again
Although steps 1-3 above should not be necessary, they represent a safer way to
update your EEPROM. If it looks like the loading gets hung up and stops
responding with the “sanity” light flashing fast and “USB ISR”, close the EPICenter
by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE, task manager, Applications, EPICenter, End Task,
or wait until EPICenter comes back with the “Not Responding” message.
4.2.5 Compiling EPL to EPIC
After writing your EPL code, compile it using the menu item on the top of the
