Hey all, I've just put together a panel, everything is working as it should however there are a few little niggles I need some help with. With DCS-BIOS, I have 3 green led momentary switches for the AV-8 Master mode buttons. They light up when I push the button but the light doesn't stay on when you are in that mode. The LED and switch pins are all working and correct. I tried the F-18's AA master mode and that stays on and works as expected. Similar issue with the KA-50's RPM warning light. It wont flash, but it will light up when i hit the switch. Any help would be appreciated :)

Yep, working as per your diagram. High active.

That was it. The resister was connected to the wrong polarity and as I switched it, I left it connected to the wrong polarity every time :music_whistling: Thanks for your help and patience!

That makes sense. However, its doing exactly the same thing which ever way I arrange it! It's driving me up the wall. Is it something to do with the LED I'm using? Or the value of resister I'm using? It's a LAS1-AJ-22 https://www.onpowbutton.com/download/2015020911103373499.pdf

It does the same thing reversed. Not sure why I should try 5V-Resistor LED to pin

Sorry, you are right. I misspoke. It is wired pin-resistor-LED-GND

Hi all, Sorry this must have a simple answer, but I sure can't find it. Using an Arduino Mini I've just set up my first panel, everything works fine except the warning LEDs. They are opposite of what is happening in the sim. So, when the light is on its off on the panel. Anyone have an idea of what is causing this? If I could reverse it in the sketch with some code everything would work as expected. LED is of this type: https://www.onpowbutton.com/download/2015020911103373499.pdf with 220ohm resister in series on 5V. Does the same thing for both Ka-50 and AV-8 Thanks for any help /* Tell DCS-BIOS to use a serial connection and use interrupt-driven communication.

Instant buy

I got this tonight, playing multiplayer i released 4 rapidly with no delay between each press and on the fourth it crashed.

Sorry, I think you have misunderstood what I'm asking. If the MAV locks on to something close by your target, how to you break the lock? You can do it in the A10C. The MAV feed through the DMT is a lower zoom level, so its easy to lock on to the wrong target, even though the TPOD is tracking correctly. I have the correct target in point track in the targeting pod, switch to IRMV in the DMT. The sensor hasn't got the same amount of zoom, the IRMV locks to a power pole right next to my target. I don't know how to break the lock with the IRMV display. I can boresight everything, but then i have to reacquire the target again with the TPOD.

Hey all, Is there any way to unlock IRMAV target without losing the designation with the TPOD? I keep locking on to power poles.

Also it doesn't matter if the first player switches to the player or the client slot. The other one will always switch to AI.

Yep, same problem here. The slot appears in the multiplayer lobby but then it always switches to AI and the player is suspended in mid air and can't use the esc menu.

I never thought of going asleep! Thanks for your contribution

I'm getting 20-40KB/s on a connection that can do 4MB/s :(
