breadwild Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I just start working with Arduino and built a controller that I've been able to map switches to in various aircraft (some default X-Plane and Carenado) but haven't gotten it to work with the Saab 340. For example, I would like to turn off the Taxi light switch after take off without having to look up. While I was able to map the switch to the default taxi light, it has no affect in the 340. I'm new to this and I'm sure there are discussions on it, I just need to be pointed. Maybe it's not possible without writing a plugin, but I have no idea where to start. Advice? Resources? Thanks.

JGregory Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Brad, I do not use the Arduino stuff, so I can't comment directly on that. However, if you want to "control" the taxi light in the Saab you can only do that by using the custom command (similar to mapping a button or key). If you want to know the status of the taxi light switch then you can monitor the X-Plane DataRef "sim/cockpit2/switches/taxi_light_on". However, you can not write to that DataRef as it is controlled by the Saab plugin. Edited July 31, 2015 by JGregory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
