DCS BIOS KA 50 illuminated buttons

[ThaTactic]

Hi simers and pitbuilders,

 

i try to build only a small part of the KA 50 cockpit (only the targeting mode control panel) to gain experience. The toggle switches work fine, the rotary switch work also fine but the illuminated buttons do not work.

 

If i push the real life button the button in DCS start to flicker. The real life LED lit all the time, no matter if i push the button or not.

 

Im not experienced in programming or electronics so i ask for help.

 

Here is the code i use:

 

DcsBios::Switch2Pos weaponsGroundTargetBtn("WEAPONS_GROUND_TARGET_BTN", 0);

DcsBios::LED weaponsGroundTargetLed(0x1916, 0x0800, 1);

Here is a picture of the circuit:

The 2 pins you chose are comm pins and cannot be used as you have done.

 

Change the pins you are using... Pin 12 for the switch and pin13 for the LED. Do not wire the built in led directly to the Pin. You should have a 220 ohm resistor between the pin and the LED or you can damage the Uno. Try that out and see what happens.

 

Btw, when you post code, please post the entire sketch. 2 lines of code are not enough to diagnose a problem.

 

Let me know how that works.

Thank you very much for your reply.

 

I ordered a bunch of 220 ohm resistors and i will test the new wiring soon.

 

Sorry for my isolated part of the code, will not happen again :thumbup:
