aniron Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Does anyone know a way to have a DCS-BIOS system also (or instead) show up as one or more Directinput devices? I'd like to build out my pit using a master/slave system but also be able to use the panels outside of DCS. I'd also like to avoid using an USB connection for each Arduino.
Ranma13 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 This is a very involved question as there are multiple ways to accomplish this, but to start you off, you can look into MMJoy2, which allows you to set up an Arduino or Arduino-like device as a USB HID joystick.
aniron Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 Thank you. I guess I'll walk before I try to fly, doing a DCS-BIOS and a DirectInput implementation separately first. I wonder if there is anything fundamentally stopping me from putting in an extra arduino slave and having the DCS-BIOS master optionally send the control states to that over RS-485 rather than (or as well as) to the computer directly. The DirectInput slave (a Leonardo, perhaps?) would then run MMJOY or similar and relay that to the computer over USB.
