Thick8 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 In the final stage of building a collective. I have a BU0836A board that will run 12 switches without having to wire a matrix. Is the idle switch on the collective modeled in DCS. If not then I have 12 switches and I’m happy. If not I have to wire in diodes and matrix for that 1 extra switch.

CHPL Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Do you mean the idle release switch? Safeguard for unintended engine shut down? Yes and No. You can press the button to relive the throttle and then role it back from idle to closed. But on your power twist-grip or, leaver the way between closed and ground idle is not available. The axis starts at ground idle to full open. From closed to ground idle you need the mouse or the keyboard. Always happy landings ;)

I will run a wire to that switch just in case it's needed later though. With any luck this thing should be done today.

I was hoping after this many years they would have given us the full range by now [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:
