Welcome to one of the boards of the SimCards family named SC-MB, specially designed for the control and management of inputs and outputs of equipment and modules of simulators made or not by Sismo. Also they can be used to any other system that requires to control a few elements on real time.
Flight Simulators Solutions www.sismo-soluciones.com We have named the group formed by the Mother Board and the types of Daughter Boards which can be connected to it: “the family of SimCards SC-MB boards”. The SC-MB Ethernet Family. They are controlled by means of the programming language SC Pascal, the code it can be downloaded for free.

You don’t need to use Sismo modules to benefit from the use of these control boards, any bought or home- made module is compatible. These boards work well in conjunction with GICs (General Interface Card), which make wire connection problems a thing of the past.
CONNECTION When following our connection map you can use the free script provided by Sismo. In case of modifying or using a customized solution, you will have to program your own script.
They are recommended when you already have modules from another provider or self-made, as with the green connectors you will be able to easily connect single wires or adapt your connection map to Sismo Soluciones. Here is a list of GIC boards you would need to make a customized connection to each Backpanel: Device Electronic Version PLUG &...
IDC Connectors with a codename which easily identifies the module you need to connect. You do not need to purchase a backpanel, but if you are building your own custom modules with Sismo products, a backpanel is a very helpful and professional solution.
#What is the difference between common cathode and common anode? By default, all of Sismo’s products are prepared in common cathode. LEDs have polarity, if this polarity is inversed, the LEDs don’t work. In common cathode, all of the LEDs share a positive node, whereas in common anode, they share a negative node.
