Hi RAZBAM, Like your module. I was wondering if there are plans to add assignable axis or joystick buttons to the interior and exterior lighting levels. They are adjustable at this stage only with the mouse. Unless I've completely missed something. I'm playing with the release version of DVS not the Beta. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Wire Colours: Red = 3.3v (Only needed these for the axis control potentiometer) White = Analouge Input Green = Digital Input wired from switch to board. Black = Ground chained together through entire system then to ground on board. If you are using heavy duty switches you are better of using connectors that are crimped on. Depends on your switch they might have screw fittings as well or be solder tag microswitches. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Internal photos. Wire colours: Red = 3.3v Black = Ground White = Analouge Input Green = Digital Input There is no wiring diagram because I never drew one. I just did it. Sorry I'm not an engineer or sparky. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hey, It really depends what you want to do and what you code yourself. The diagram I've drawn (not my best work). Shows you 2 pos switch and your 3 pos (on-off-on) switch. The ground wires get chained together then led to the ground on the board. Each other side of the switch then get a single wire conbecting them to a digital input. I use the pull_up command to read the input on the switch. Then you do the coding side. You can achieve a lot with the code. I can have the code written to act as a pulse (one quick button tap) on cycle, constantly held whilst on or one button when flicked on and another when switched off. I will attach some pics of the wiring side of my projects when I get home to show the setup. The real question is what do you want to do with the box? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi All, So it has been a while since my last post, work has been busy but I did take some time off recently and as such I got around to my next project! The title says it all! So in discussions with my other squadron member we put our heads together and over a few beers we discussed my ideas around a lighting panel. He somehow managed to convince me to build a panel for him (Done the work but haven't given it to him yet, bad friend I know). One of the things he tried to convince me off is that their really wasn't a need to have a dial for every single light in the cockpit. I Know that some of you will right now be reaching for your pitchforks! :devil: But after a bit more soul searching I realized he was right! So we came up with a concept to code multiple axis to only one potentiometer. The end result is this DIY lighting panel. This is totally plug and play using the Arduino joystick library and as such can be used to suit any module. As addressed in my YouTube video big issue around that is that the A10C doesn't have assignable axis for the lighting systems and instead uses joystick buttons. The solution was to add an override functionality which completely changes the way the potentiometers function and switches their output from a joystick axis to a joystick button. See the attached YouTube Video and the code. If anyone wants to build their own have fun! :joystick: Light_Panel_JM.txt

Yeah, It can be achieved with a microswitch monitoring the cover I did think about it but ultimately decided against it as it would need another input of it's own. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Looks good... shame you have to order 100 minimum though! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Great thanks for the link! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Good luck! I look forward to seeing it when it's finished! This will work well for the Harrier as well!

Thanks! Here is my full setup. I call it the dad on a budget! The monitor is on a wall mounted swing arm so I can switch between flying and working on the same machine easily. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Youtube Video as Promised!

Patience! I've never uploaded to youtube before and it is taking longer than I though!
