no option to have them if you own both modules??

yeh thats off. iv just tried it with a new cable and get the same error. iv tried different usb ports. different cables and different arduinos!! how do i tell whats already on the arduino board?

whats a serial monitor? all the other nanos are greyed out in ide its showing connected in the bottom right of the ide

somehow i got the wrong file completely. i have no idea how lol. got the right code i think, it compiled fine but wont uplaod to the nano, iv tried different usb ports and different nano boards too Sketch uses 7422 bytes (24%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes. Global variables use 1022 bytes (49%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1026 bytes for local variables.

i dont know how. is it in in ide itself or on tinternet? will it autoinstall to the right place? is it code that gets added to the sketch? iv found a list, how do i know which 1 i should use? and do i add it the same way i add another library?

ULTIMATELY THATS WHAT I WANT. HOWEVER I HAVNT A CLUE HOW TO USE ARDUINO AND MY 1ST ATTEMPT AT SETTING IT IUP HAS FAILED MISERABLY LOL

iv tried to do this. got the hardware wired up on a breadboard but it doesnt work in arduino ide. when i compile it i get this error C:\Users\john\Documents\3d printing\stl files\pc cockpit build\f16\MFD.F16-main\src\MFD\MFD.ino:4:10: fatal error: Joystick.h: No such file or directory #include <Joystick.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. exit status 1 Compilation error: Joystick.h: No such file or directory does that mean its failing at the 1st line and not even bothering with the rest?? i have no idea what joystic.h is

i thought id looked under that lol thanks

i cant find the icls channel selector or power switch in the controls. what are they called?

why a streamdeck?

i need to work out what that all meant!

so switch2 tells dcs which switch is being manipulated? control reference in dcs fork?

that helps alot thanks, how do i know gear handle or gear lever will work correctly? what in the code points exactly at the command? i assume its the bracketed part but how does dcs exactly what it is

i dont know what you mean yet but thanks for the link. il check it out thats a great video! am i right in thinking dcs bios outputs direct to the arduino and i can can set the controls in there manually AND/OR ingame? can i use the saem switch and arduino for different ingame modules, ie master arm switch on the f14 and f18 on the same physical switch in my pit?

do i need to arduino reset button? do you have the stl (or cad file) for the pot knobs pretty please

in dcs bios under control reference tab, in the midule tabs in there do i need to copy paste that code into arduino??

Right im looking to build a semi generic pit (ie NOT plane specific, mostly based on tomcat but i fly other stuff too, mainly f16, f18 and huey) heres where im at so far with my understanding 1 physical layout ie what buttons. switches, rotary encoders etc are going where. thats long winded and complicated but i know what im doing there at least, and i can do basic cad and 3d print the panels 2 arduinos and multiplexers, christ this is a bottomless pit of randomness. where im at so far is i know what a multiplexer is and how it works physically, i have no idea how to set them up for the arduinos though. i can use them for momentary switches and analog inputs but not on else off toggle switches, im not sure if i can use normal on off on toggles with them though. 3 dcs bios. this is the interface that exports ingame data to the arduinos, another massive can of worms that iv no idea how to use. so far the 1st stage doesnt match the instructions at all lol, i dont get the options im supposed to right off the bat lol. iv found and installed code with f14 f16 f18 and huey into dcs bios but im clueless as to how it works. So far im thinking this use bigger arduinos/bodner boards as hid devices to simply connect switches (with multiplexers on the arduinos to get even more switches if needed) and bind them directly (iv already done this with bodner boards which are plug and play and iv written some code ingame to change/add controls too which was nice). use arduino nanos to use all the displays i do want a few lcds/oleds/7 seg displays for stuff, mainly radios, tacan, iff in the f16 (can i use the 1 i use for tacan in the tomcat as the iff in the f16??) and the ded on the f16/f18 any and all noob advice/tips welcome

could i get/buy the stl off you for those knobs please? im planning a similer build

im just starting down this road without the 1st clue of wha tim doing yet (i dont think dcs bios is even connecting to dcs lol) im looking for outputs of both radios, tacan and icls channel. where do i start? hi do you have the cad files for the knobs?

im a noob with this but is there a way to display the icl channel number anywhere? ie output it to arduino and have a display with the channel number. im pretty sure you can do it with the radio freqs etc but they have an in pit display wheras the icls doesnt. the reason i ask is its tricky to read exactly what chanell the switch is on. also how many icls channels are there?

thanks

is it possible to do this in the cat?

what does this do? its a list of the waypoints, how does this differ from the same control binds in jester ai (theyre shortcuts to tell jester to select x wp or radar range etc)

sorted it, i replaced the wrong lua and buggered it up

as above the new patch has made most of my controls dissapear, i dont even have any flight control axis any more. could somebody drop the default lua here for me please il try that. ps i do have custom controls but i removed them and its still borked
