hannibal Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 im looking to build a vibration device for the huey doorgunner.. in which it is enabled by means of ammo count data.. i just have two questions for you dcs bios gurus.. 1) is there an doorgunner ammo count data output for dcs bios? 2) does running dcs bios fails on servers with integrity check? thanks for any info or suggestions.. find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I'm afraid - I've not tried yet. However, from things I've read, it depends on the particular server settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Did the hornet ECM switch change in the current open beta? Previously moving it I could go through off, stby, bit, etc. Now I move the switch and it performs no function in game. I am using DCS Bio HUB... This is the HUB code: defineTumb("ECM_MODE_SW", 0, 3116, 248, 0.1, {0.0, 0.4}, nil, false, "Dispenser/EMC Panel", "ECM Mode Switch, XMIT/REC/BIT/STBY/OFF") My Simpit Progress and Update Learn how to build a SimPit like mine: Follow my Blog here!

amido Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) hi everyone, I have the problem that the mechanical buttons I use for my ufc many times give me multiple impulses, they suggested me to put a delay in such a way as to perceive only one impulse. how do i put it in the .lua file? are there any other ways to avoid sending multiple pulses? I use an arduino mega 2560 board thank you for your invaluable help Edited February 3, 2021 by amido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an arduino mega 2560 board thank you for your invaluable help The multiple impulses are called switch "bounce". DCS-BIOS should "debounce" the switches in software. Another option is to connect a small 100nF capacitor across the switch. I've not needed to do that with ordinary buttons, but it works wonders with rotary encoders.

crash test pilot Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ghosting and diodes are usually a thing for switch matrixes; it does not matter which side of the button the diode is attached, the direction matters. But your problem seems to be a bouncing problem as indicated by no1sonuk and should be treated with a capacitor parallel to the switch as no1sonuk advised.

amido Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) ok .... sorry but I'm a beginner with electronics, what does "in parallel" mean. in the image that I posted where do I insert the capacitor? I thank you and I apologize for the questions that may be trivial for you. Edited February 5, 2021 by amido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank you and I apologize for the questions that may be trivial for you. Across the switch. - From the green of each button to the black. Capacitors are open circuit to DC, but will need to discharge so it very slightly slugs the response to the switch. If you want a technical explanation of switch bounce, have a look here: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/switch-bounce-how-to-deal-with-it/ For DCS-BIOS, implementing software debouncing yourself isn't really an option, so go with the capacitor.

crash test pilot Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Not so trivial - we all learn something new from day to day. Here you go: You can also put the capacitor below the switch - parallel means it does not interrupt the line to the switch but is connected the same way as the switch. Edit: Here you see Why it is called "parallel" - not my work but a good picture of the principle: Edited February 5, 2021 by crash test pilot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amido Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 in the arduino forum I read that all the boards have already implemented the anti bounce system, you just have to activate it. I tried inserting the following lines but it gives me error: void setup ()] pinMode (button_pin, IMPUT_PULLUP); do you think it is possible to activate it in DCS_BIOS?

I tried inserting the following lines but it gives me error: void setup ()] pinMode (button_pin, IMPUT_PULLUP); do you think it is possible to activate it in DCS_BIOS? "IMPUT_PULLUP" should be "INPUT_PULLUP" But that's just the internal pullup resistors and has nothing to do with debouncing. It's used so that a switch connected to ground can give a 0 when pressed and 5V when released. I think DCS-BIOS might do something with that anyway, as I've never had to do that. 7 hours ago, amido said: do I connect it like this? Pretty much. Yes. A non-polarised 100nF capacitor with a voltage of at least 6V should be fine. Edited February 6, 2021 by No1sonuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowmover Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hello mates. I want to learn how to use DCS-Bios.I did not knew that you can use a POT to give digital commands.So know i want to replace all my rotary encoders which i used them to my HEUY radios and put potensiometers. The question i have is this. I use Arduino Pro Micro with 9 analog axys.Is there any other board with more axys? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
