supa325 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 A few weeks back, I happened to find a home made A-10C Electric Panel wired to a Arduino Nano. I also have an old landing gear handle that I've been wanting to wire up, but has been a bit overwhelming. So I find this panel, wired, and cheap. I buy it thinking the hard part is done, and I can reverse engineer how this person physically hooked it up. I get arduino started, I follow the online instructions and assign a couple of switches and upload it successfully to my nano. But, DCS Bios "Virtual Cockpit" doesn't turn green. I've tried to add DCS bios automatically and also copy-paste to my Export.lua. And the right Com port is connected in Bios Bios is installed in C:, Beta is in C:/Users/.../SavedGames and also E: This is my test code uploaded into Arduino for my F-16 #define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL #include "DcsBios.h" DcsBios::Switch2Pos gearHandle("GEAR_HANDLE", 9); DcsBios::Switch2Pos airRefuelSw("AIR_REFUEL_SW", 8); DcsBios::Switch2Pos storesConfigSw("STORES_CONFIG_SW", 4); void setup() { DcsBios::setup(); } void loop() { DcsBios::loop(); } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrasyuk Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Did you manage to get the master caution sketch to work? It sounds like you didn't install the BIOS properly. What is "virtual cockpit".l? If this is the old Hub version of the BIOS I'd say start from scratch and install the flightpanels fork: https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios and follow their guide: https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-BIOS/doc/userguide.adoc Edited May 26, 2022 by agrasyuk Anton.

No1sonuk Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 From the description, it is Hub. I second switching to flight panels before you start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supa325 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Thanks for the input (pun intended). I'll give it a try and come back with results, in case anyone in the future has the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
