TEMPEST.114 Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Like the F14 module, there is a bindable event for opening or closing of the covered toggle switches (ACM & Master ARM). Does anyone know of a toggle switch cover that is able to be wired up to produce it's own events separate from the toggle switch it covers? Thanks.
bojack Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 You can use an (ON)-OFF-ON switch with the momentary on the side facing down. The cover will push the switch into the momentary (ON) when closed and then when you open the cover the switch will move to the OFF. The up for ON and center for OFF work as a normal ON-OFF switch One pin on the switch tells you the cover is closed, the other tells you if the switch is active. If neither pin is activated the switch cover is open and the switch is off.
TEMPEST.114 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks. I was hoping to make a similar switch to the F14 in that I could have a 'safe' mode when the cover was open but the switch was in the bottom position, but I guess I can live without that. Thanks for the advice @spodokomodo.

Blue73 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 If you're using DCS-BIOS you can send the open switch cover event before sending the toggle switch event. I've done this with mine.
