Error Setting Up Potentiometer on Arduino

[hrnet940]

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. 

Thanks,

Try:
DcsBios::Potentiometer comTacan("COM_TACAN", A4);

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?

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);

Now I've learned something new today...

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.

I just tried this with one of my circuit breakers and it worked great.  Thanks!

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.
