It seems to work somewhat, if I keep turning the potentiometer, the lever in the cockpit jumps back to the start and goes through the rotation again, but I assume that can be fixed with some physical stops when I build the lever

I'm using an Arduino Uno/Mega through DCS BIOS.

This is probably a very basic question, but I'm new to all this and a bit lost. So I got a potentiometer and got it working in DCS through DCS BIOs to turn the Harrier nozzle controller. Problem is, I have to turn the potentiometer almost 360 degrees from it's start to it's end for the lever in game to go maybe 90 or 100 degrees. I dunno if I've explained it properly, but not sure how I can make the physical lever I'll be making match the travel of the in game lever.

I've tried that, no luck sadly

Currently trying to get my rotary encoder to work with the Harrier, specifically the UFC radio channel encoder. It works in the sim, but it jumps four channels every time I turn it going from M to 4 to 8 etc. Wondering if it's an issue with the code or maybe the encoder itself. Here's the code: /* Tell DCS-BIOS to use a serial connection and use interrupt-driven communication. The main program will be interrupted to prioritize processing incoming data. This should work on any Arduino that has an ATMega328 controller (Uno, Pro Mini, many others). */ #define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL #include "DcsBios.h" DcsBios::RotaryEncoder ufcCom1Sel("UFC_COM1_SEL", "-3200", "+3200", 4, 7); /* paste code snippets from the reference documentation here */ void setup() { DcsBios::setup(); } void loop() { DcsBios::loop(); }

Those scans are amazing! I have no idea how to turn them into a 3d model in Fusion 360, but I'm gonna try my darndest!

So far I've only have this happen on the Georgia At War Hoggit server and no other. For some reason, sometimes, my MFD's won't export to my secondary screen, even though exporting is set to yes on the server. If I remember correctly, it's only happened when the server was set to evening, though I'm not sure why that would have an impact. Anyone know what could be going on?

Already a member of them ^^ I was thinking about a discord group like the Open Hornet Project, specifically for the people building Harrier pits. We could just do it here of course as well.

Awesome, I have no idea how to set up a group like that, but would be cool to have a pooled vault of Harrier knowledge ^^ I'm only still at the CAD design stage, but I'm probably too meticulous in my process.

Been wondering if people would be up for doing something like the Open Hornet Project but for the Harrier? Maybe create a discord where we could talk Harrier cockpit stuff, share our work, findings and pool our knowledge etc

Couldn't they work through DCS Bios though?

That is just amazing! Working on the RIO seat next?

Yeah I tried adjusting for that, but that would mean the instrument measurement of 3.25" wouldn't fit. But then again, not sure the drawings I'm using are actually accurate, so hard to figure out what to trust ^^ Starting to think I may be in over my head here, heh.

Is there anything on the front console that's of a known measurement? Been trying to work it out but can't for the life of me figure it out. Tried going with the measurement of the flight instruments but they seem to all be different sizes.

Is it possible to, somehow, change fixed step rotaries to variable step rotaries in DCS BIOS?

Including bezels?

Much appreciated! Just gotta make it work with Fusion 360 and I'm golden.

Any tips on where to find the correct font? Been trying to google "M33558 font" but I keep getting anything but that (and a link to this chat).

Yeah I did originally as that's how it is in the original code, just mistyped here.

I've tried that but it didn't work sadly. Do i change anything else.

Actually can't remember to be honest. And yeah that might be it...just seems a bit narrow.

This is the picture I originally used to try and figure out the size of the UFC and other parts on the center consol. Problem is, if I use the measurements on the hornet MFD on the Harrier MFD here, the UFC comes out at about 160mm in width, which makes it almost a 30mm difference from what others have found out. Really need someone to get into a real Harrier with a measuring tape

Not sure if follow...the "2" and "3" in the code are the pins I used. I also teares the same encoder with the bingo fuel set knob and that works fine, even though it's also a fixed step rotary. Almost seems like there's something wrong with the code specifically for the channel select.

I didn't, no, and I used a different background picture as a canvas.
