This is what I'm going for Sokol1_br, but apparently I'm sort of an idiot when it comes to the use of the MMjoy2 software. I get some data inputs from the throttle but the rawdata is 0 - 7 so I'm not sure what to have in the calibration fields. I posted the same question on simHQ. https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4518724/thrustmaster-cougar-throttle-to-usb-mmjoy2#Post4518724

I also looked at MMjoy2 but I couldn't quite figure out to use the program with the TM TQS. Also how I should code the arduino. If you got some tips I'd love to here them.

Hi guys. I've searched the forum but couldn't find the answer to my questions. So I've started following this guide (https://pit.uriba.org/uriba/standalone-cougar-tqs-part-i/) to get my old TM Cougar from DB15 to USB using an Arduino Leonard instead of an Pro-Micro. I've followed the wiring as shown in the guide, except I have used pin A4 instead of the external ADC. The problem is the uploading of the firmware to the arduino. The README files states the following (located here https://github.com/uriba107/32u4_hexuploader/releases/tag/v1912): Allow to upload code both to Serial enabled boards (that have an exposed COM port), or devices in other modes (not Com port visible. to upload to visible device, select it's COM port from the drop down list. and click upload. for a Non visible device, select the proper option and click upload. then reset the device to Bootloader mode (usually "double click" on the devices Reset button. the program will identify device's bootloader and will upload the selected HEX file. When I open the Hexloader program, the arduino COM port is not shown and when I set the arduino in bootloader mode (connecting RESET and GND twice) and uploades using the HID alternative, is states: No device found. I can see the Arduino listed in the device manager. Also tried to run the "upload_code.bat" file but it failed since there wasn't any hex file with the correct name.

Hi guys! Is there a known bug with the DL switch for the F-16 module? I've tried troubleshooting but hardware seems to be fine. The other switches on the Avio pwr pnl works fine. Also, is there a code for the OFF/SQL/GD for COMM1 and COMM2 on the audio panel? Can't seem to find it. EDIT: Updated to the newest plugin version for the Viper and the DL switch now works.

Hi, I'm trying to write a code for the ICP DATA SWITCH using a analog joystick. Bear in mind that I haven't been coding for a long time when you read the code. :megalol: Anyways, the problem is that when I use the "UP" and "SEQ" values, the switch ingame don't return to zero, unlike when I use "RET" and "DOWN". Any suggestions on the code to fix this?

I tested it on the top five instant action missions and the three missions. It worked fine on both the traning missions, start up and takeoff.

It looks like it was the "Game Avionics Mode" that messed things up. Seems to be working now! Thanks for the tips! :thumbup:

It's ticked off. Any other options that could mess this up. This does not happen with the A-10.

Couldn't find this issue on the forum so have to ask. Whenever I one of the two training missions, the "correct" control profile is used (i.e the one configured under "F-16C sim") but when I try to load a mission or instant action scenario, the control profile "F-16C_50_easy get used and I can't seem to change it. I have the Thrustmaster HOTAS and the F-16C sim profile loaded as expected when I launched the game. Any suggestions on this?

Thanks for the replies! I think I'm gonna go with two USB hubs with 7 inputs to controll the Arduinos. For rotary switches, what is the best way to solve this (thinking of f.ex fuel quantity select)? Use a rotary encoder with 20 steps?

After discovering DCS BIOS the other day and trying some Arduino (Uno) programming, I want to have a go at building a fairly simple F-16 home cockpit. I have the Thrustmaster HOTAS and planning to 3D print the panels I'd like to have (flying in VR so no LCD/LED neccesary). Question 1. Does anyone have a build layout or dimensions for the F-16 or other cockpit I could use as a reference? Question 2. Is there any place I could get the dimensions of the different panels, or does a ready 3D model exist for printing? I've found some 3D models but not everyone I'd like. Question 3. The wiring. What is the best way to hook all this up to my single computer. The switches I'd like to have sums up to 169(!) inputs to nine different Arduinos, 157 digital inputs and 12 analog inputs. What is the best way to hook this up? Is it possible to use two USB hubs and nine Arduinos (Uno)? Happy flying! Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. Just started trying out the DCS BIOS for the A-10C, but in my control referance page, the full control identifier for each component is not showing. It's just an "/", and this makes it quite hard to write code. Does anyone have a fix for this, or a spreadsheet of all the control identifiers, or would someone bother to make one? Thanks!
