WannaBeGnome Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Hi, is there any way to do this? I don´t want to have switches always on. Thanks for replies.
Rahband Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 If you want to turn toggle into momentary switches then some of your answers are in the sticky thread above this one. But its not a pretty solution. One of the things I love about DCSW DCS A-10C is it doesn't mind toggle switches
cichlidfan Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Anything that will accomplish that is going to be a lot of work for pretty much no value.

Jimbo Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) From memory (and it's been a while!) I think that if you put a diode in the circuit, the action of flipping the switch causes a pulse rather than a solid on connection. Have a look at the x-keys manual: (http://piengineering.com/techdocs/manuals/XK-0988-UNM128.1088.pdf) I'm guessing this should apply to most matrix type boards. I have a Leo Bodnar at home so will try this out this evening. Edited June 4, 2013 by Jimbo
JG14_Smil Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) no, the diode only lets the current pass in one direction. My switches do not pulse and they all have diodes. To do as you want: You wire both leads to the same switch return and tell your controller to send a pulse, but DCS by default does exactly what you are asking. It sees all buttons a pulses, so all you do is wire both sides of the switch to one return. You would just go to DCS Options and set the button there. If you don't want the switch to remain on, you need momentary switches. Edited June 4, 2013 by JG14_Smil
WannaBeGnome Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 but DCS by default does exactly what you are asking. It sees all buttons a pulses, So, if i connect switches normally to DCS, it will see it as pulses?
Red Yeti Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Just add the same function to the Key in your lua file of the device. {combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN1"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneGear, name = "Gear lever", category = "Ins Forward panel and gauges"}, edit it to: {combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN1"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneGear, up = iCommandPlaneGear, name = "Gear lever", category = "Ins Forward panel and gauges"}, You have to do it for every plane / device. The files are here C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input Edited June 4, 2013 by Red Yeti
