arduino problem with beginner builder

[Darkpig1.1]

Hello, I appear, DARKPIG1.1. (Mechanic gazelle in his real life)

I evolve in 131st(frensh virtual scadron) on A10C and I shall wish to begin to be a part of simpit.

I have just launched with the arduino but already a problem surrounds me.

I give some explanations, I followed the tuto on dcsbios.de, i have well the outputs (led, pc towards the arduino), but impossible to run switchs (inputs not reacted but change statut on the console). Anybody experimented on the subject could help me? Or if necessary direct on one other way of communicating with the software?

Thank you in advance to my hero.........

 

Sorry for my little english( if you speak frensh, respond on MP)

So communication works from DCS to the Arduino, but not in the other direction?

Sounds like a firewall issue to me. Make sure that DCS.exe is allowed to listen on UDP port 7778.

 

Also, check your dcs.log for any error messages related to DCS-BIOS or Export.lua.

 

EDIT: This may not be anything on your side at all. I just learned that a recent update probably broke most of the A-10C controls in DCS-BIOS because some device IDs changed. I can't verify that right now because I don't have access to my DCS computer, but I know that the same thing happened with the Huey.

 

EDIT2: I just verified that the A-10C still works on my machine, so it looks like you'll have to check your firewall settings.
