hrnet940 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I just tried to setup a potentiometer for testing to figure out how to use them and received the error in the attached image. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I tried to follow the documentation with DCS BIOS.

No1sonuk Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Try: DcsBios::Potentiometer comTacan("COM_TACAN", A4); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrnet940 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Thanks. It worked, not that I doubted you for one second. This was my second last thing to figure out and test, I hope. I have some circuit breakers here and would love to use them in my FA-18C cockpit. When I attach them to the Arduino/Mega 2560 they are reversed. Any idea on how to invert them in DCS BIOS to make them work?

crash test pilot Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Assuming you use either the switch2pos or actionbutton command; you can use a "true" argument which inverts the output. Use like this: DcsBios::Switch2Pos starterCover("STARTER_COVER", 3, true); 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrnet940 Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thanks for the information. I will give this a try the next time I get some time to test and get these circuit breakers working.

Use like this: DcsBios::Switch2Pos starterCover("STARTER_COVER", 3, true); Out of curiosity: Could that be used to drive 2 different signals with one switch? So it sends one signal when on and another when off? I'm not thinking of any particular use at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
