No ejection handle callout?

[lesthegrngo]

Just crossing the T's and dotting the I's and wiring up the Seat. There's the seat arm handle, but no callouts for the Ejection Seat handles themselves - is there any way to do that?

Cheers

Use a Pro Micro or Leonardo in HID mode and have a switch turn on and off the eject button output in quick succession.

I'll look that up

Thanks

we use a leo bodnar board and a keymapper software. there I assigned 3 times Ctrl-E to a keypress

I have a load of bodnar BBI-64 boards,  principally used on the MFCD's, the up front controller and the armament panel. The thing is I wanted to use the nanos with spare pins to not have to have another USB device connected. My experience is that lots of them end up causing issues, like delays in responses. I also have less spaghetti that way, there's enough wiring already without adding to it if I can.

I will probably end up wiring them up to one of the existing BBI-64 boards, it will just niggle me because of the less elegant solution

You could potentially switch a Nano to a Pro Micro and run a hybrid setup.

I'll try it, if nothing else to have another tool in the drawer so to speak. A question though, I assume this will not run via RS485?

I didn't tried the RS485 option yet, but all key related programmings I did so far (not Dcs related) only with USB connected boards.

I even don't think that the key bindings are part of the DcsBios RS485 protocol.

A Pro Micro in HID mode can only connect via USB.
