widdernix Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Hello, I spent a little time to get an Arduino attached via serial port working direct from a LUA Export file. Even a USB attached Arduino should work, as long as it uses a virtual COM port. Here is the result. It's just outputting some values from the sim and light up to 18 LED on the Arduino. The project is not designed to have input capablities like joysticks. For this I would suggest using projects like MJoy16 (->Google). Attached is an Arduino sketch and a LUA Export script.

recoilfx Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 this is very interesting... Will definitely try this sometime! This way i dont need to write a tcp to serial bridge! Thanks!
Hansolo Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi widdernix, This sound very interesting. Do you run export to Helios simultenausly with this Arduino export? Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
widdernix Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Hans, I use it together with HawgTouch. It should be possible to use it together with Helios. In this case you have to integrate the functions manually into the Helios Export script. If you have LUA skills this should'nt be a problem. You can not use the same COM port used in the script together with EOS, because it's opened exclusively. Cheers Peter
