    Hello Scott, Im currently rebuilding thrustmaster Rudder Pedals, meaning I compleatly redesigned and printed it. It`s basically a new set of pedals. Now I want to get rid of the old electronics and integrate a Hall Sensor for the rudder axis. So thats two potentiometers for the toebreaks and one hall sensor for the center axis. Im using a pro micro board. Would be nice if you include some potentiometers and hall sensors in you next video, thanks. PS: Im also in the DCS Cockpit sim group on FB.

      Awesome!!! Sounds like a great project - shoot me some pics I’d love to see the redesign
      100% - this Tuesday is all about variables, and how to reading digital inputs
      Next Tuesday will be a dedicated BIOS episode :) and then after that I can definitely look at doing pots and hall sensors 😃😃

    You're a fantastic teacher, dude! this made me even more excited to get my arduino today. this reminds me of when I was messing with LUA code for World of Warcraft mods back in the day. I never wrote my own mods but I did change things in other people's mods. there weren't any videos explaining it like this though

    Fun fact, it took a 3D artist, a front end dev and a computer scientist 5hrs of the night to figure out that the toggle switch we were using needs to be defined as INPUT_PULLUP instead of INPUT to actually work lmao.

I am deciding between a G1000 set up (easier) or go ahead and hand build all the gauges. Then when you walk up to it and open the door it will look like a real plane inside.

    Really nice videos and clear explanations. How do you deal with the initial toggle switch positions when DCS starts?

    • @aHornetsNest
      @aHornetsNest  2 місяці тому +1

      Thank you! With BIOS it auto “polls” and syncs all the switches
      If you were running the Arduino as a HID/Joystick controller sometimes the switches sense and sometimes they need cycling
      You could create a “sync” button which you could press and force them all to sync

    ... been programming for years... but ye, as far as Arduino's been concerned been in copy/past land (mostly did all my code on Pi's using Python)...
    thanks for this, looking forward to the subsequent tutorials... to see how you interface with cockpit controls as thats what I'm doing/building, helicopter controls.
    hope you cover logic shifters (74HC165 ) also.

    I have a question with toggle switches. I have an (on off on) toggle switch, but it needs to be (off on on). Is there a way to correct this in programming with the pull up or pull down flags? Or do I need to find the correct switch?

      Hey :) what switch/aircraft did you want to use it on - I can then tell you how I would do it
