I want to copy your design, but am still new to this world. What types of wires do I need for my arduino devices. Also, do you need any resistors between the switches and encorders?

I didn't purchase any particular wires, I mostly used USB cable and PC power supply wires. It is a good practice to use resistors but I didn't use any  . AlbEagle |

I need mega 2560 code for controlling the knobs on display gauges in Flight Simulator X, like Altimeter or ADF etc

I need mega 2560 code for controlling the knobs on display gauges in Flight Simulator X, like Altimeter or ADF etc Here is the sketch for Ignition, switches, and rotary encoders on the panel (vor1, vor2, hdg, etc) you need fs2link as well. Cessna172MeEncodersFinale.ino (7.91 KB) Here is the link for the fs2link program from the wonderful page of jim Link2fsAlbEagle |

You are welcome. I would still recommend using mobiflight as explained on the other thread though. |

Hello, I'm also new to electronics. Therefore, do not quite understand the basic principle with Arduino. Connect switch to Arduino board -> create program in the Arduino software -> connect to the flight simulator using Mobiflight  Request for support. Want to first implement the switch panel and then go on to the radio panel. The panel with the instruments is already running. But still without regulator. Thank you and my respect for your project. It is not better. |

It is not better. I suggest you take a look at the tutorials of mobiflight. Here is the german version of the website (the creator of mobiflight is german). I will post the link here. Practice a tutorial on an arduino Mega and see how it goes, if you still have questions ask freely here. Parkbremse schalterParkbremse LED7 segmente AnzeigeServomotor fuer flaps anzeigerAlbEagle |

Hello friends! I'm making a radio stack. Everything seems to work, but there is such a problem. When I turn off or turn on the 7-segment displays with the "master battery" button or the "master avionics" button, errors occur, for example, not all digits go out or excess segments are appearing, where they should not be. The strangest thing is that this irregularly. Somebody faced with this? Thank you! Sorry my english.

The strangest thing is that this irregularly. Somebody faced with this? Thank you! Sorry my english. That happens to me as well. I need to turn on/off several times than it works great. It may be the soldering i think. Try to solder all the connections again and avoid long wires. The connecting wires should fit tight and should not move. Are you powering the radio directly with external power supply as shown in the picture. If yes check If there is enough current provided from the power supply. AlbEagle |

I was helped by the solution from the FAQ section of the official Mobiflight website: "Unfortunately some users report that they have issues with lost events when using a switch or button. It means that you use a switch and the desired action in your simulator. This can be done as a workaround: Under "settings", enable "Logging Mode" and set Level to "Debug" Reduce the FSUIPC Polling Interval, e.g. less or equal than 300ms. " Try it, maybe it will help you! |

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Mobiflight over WideFS with FSUIPC? Would like to let the Arduinos run on a client PC. How does this work? Many Thanks

I haven't use wideFS yet. I suggest you ask on the mobiflight forum page. I think I have seen someone asking the same question over there but don't remember the answer. AlbEagle |

Hi,
I really liked your project and I am currently building one myself but I have a question.
How did you connect the toggle switches (what kind of power and how much voltage does it run on). I bought the toglle switches and they say:"3A 125VAC, 5A 250VAC." If i want to connect if to the arduino 5v what kind of resistors do I have to use. Thanks
Jesse

Edit:
I meant:
3A 125VAC
1.5A 250VAC
