mulishaknight Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Well after being part of the DCS Community for a while i am finally able to post on the forum. Thats a story for another day. Anyway i am trying my hand at building a cockpit using Dimebugs plans. I have never done anything like this and have little to no expirence on electrical wiring. I have scoured this forum and bookmarked as many pages i could on cockpit builds and panel building and such. So here it goes i thought i would start with something simple i have decided to build the cockpit video recorder...Yes i know it has no real function in DCS A10 but i thought maybe it could throw the switch and it would light up in dcs and maybe start recording with fraps? I am sure i could figure that out. My main question is how do i wire this thing up. (with the led to come on when the switch is active) i will explain what i have so far x2 10a 227vac/20 a 125v ac SPST switches and 2 led lights (i do have some various resistors not sure why i bought them) I plan to by the gp 40 wiz board i will enclose some pictures to explain what i have done so far and maybe someone can help me if i am way off base. so i have the two switches with the ground wire running to the post with brass pin on the switches (the other one is silver im guessing thats positive) now can i continue the ground wire to each negative poles on the led??? then come off the positive on the switch to the led from the led to the input on the gp40 board? I am confused. I would hate to get a board in the mail the ruin it hooking this up! Can someone explain this to me please. Edited April 13, 2013 by mulishaknight
