Kenpilot Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hey guys. I can't get my home cockpit yaw trim pot to work for some reason. I'm using DCS Bios, Arduino Mega and a 10k Pot. I have the Pot connected to the Mega using a 5v pin, GND pin, and one of the Analog pins. I also copied the coding for the yaw trim from DCS Bios. It's not working at all, but the rest of the switches on my panel are. Yes, I've double checked all the connections, etc. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or might be the issue? Would a rotary encoder be better? Thanks!

No1sonuk Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Which version of DCS-BIOS are you using, and what code line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agrasyuk Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 probably not much help, but my DCSBIOS-based SAS panel and the Yaw trim are working with the exact line of code you used. Or at least it was working before the latest patch, I didn't try it with the most recent open beta version yet. so i'd say keep troubleshooting, I assume you did replace the PIN in your code to the actual analog input .

That's the "Hub" version that's no longer supported by its original developer. I'm surprised it works at all now. You should switch to the "Skunkworks" fork (formerly called the Flightpanels Fork). That's actively maintained and updated. https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks/dcs-bios There's an installation guide here: And a Discord here: https://discord.gg/T3bHedJk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks for the heads up!! Now I just hope when I change over to this newer DCS Bios, everything still works! lol I'll give it a shot. Thanks!!

Kenpilot Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 I downloaded and installed everything and the trim still isn't working correctly. I tried a different analog input on the arduino and tried a different arduino, still no luck. When I turn the knob, it reacts in certain positions, but it's very sensitive and doesn't turn the correct way and if I turn it all the way, the entire arduino disconnects and it doesn't work anymore, I have to close DCS out and restart it. It's very strange. Could it be the potentiometer I'm using? Should I try a Rotary Encoder? Thanks!

Sacarino111 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Hi. I am checking the setup tab and I can't see the yaw trim as an axis, so I can't see the use of a pot. I'd rather switha to a rotary encoder and bind it as key inputs. Saludos. Saca111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenpilot Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 The Rotary Encoder did it! I have it working now. I'm also running the new DCS Bios.
