Back to DCS-Bios

[Wayan]

Hi Guys,

after a long time i came back to my panels and wanted to continue a bit... but as i read that DCS-Bios is no longer active developed, my question is... how?

I read about Flightpanels, but that too uses DCS-Bios... so can someone please gibe me a five sentence summary on how DCS-Bios is integrated now?

(I was starting with RS485 back then, that didn't work, so i discontinued my fiddling)

Thanks a lot an greetings!

when you goto the flightpanels github page, you will see that they have their own actively-maintained fork of the dcs-bios scripts for you to run with their application. these are, of course, seperate repositories DCSFlightpanels · GitHub (also the very important profiles repo for different aircraft). it all works very well

Just to clarify: The Flightpanels fork is a combination of an actively maintained version of DCS-BIOS and an application that uses DCS-BIOS to interface the Flightpanels hardware (and Stream decks) with DCS. 

I use the Flightpanels DCS-BIOS, but with Arduinos, just like the Hub version.

Starting a connection is lower level than Hub, but Flightpanels is actively maintained as well as updated for new modules.

Thank you for the Replay,

I just want to do the same, because my panels were Arduino Base, but i think i am to dumb to start a connection...

What do you mean by lower level?

 

Edit: Doh, found it while clicking through GitHub

 

Greetings, Wayan

You have to manually run one of two files to start the connection for Arduinos. There's no web page interface.

Yeah, I know from the old DCS-Bios - but at first I didn't find it
thx all for your help!
