segwayglider Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I'm new to home built cockpit stuff. I'm trying to use mobiflight and the datareftool to hook up physical switches for the hotstart TBM 900. I'm starting with the airframe ice switch. I can get the switch to work in the stock 172 just randomly assigning it to the landing lights but it doesn't work in the TBM for airframe ice. I used the datareftool and copied the line into mobiflight the same way I did for the 172. Is there something different about writing data refs in xplane using the TBM 900? It seems this is a "custom" data ref and not one of the presets in mobiflight. I'll keep plugging away but any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm using xplane 11 and an audrino mega. Thanks all, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segwayglider Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 Ok i figured it out. Now I'm stuck trying to get the led lights (green gear down indicators) to individually work on the panel. The value is getting reported in a [0,0,0] format. How do I program the value section mobiflight to read the individual numbers for individual leds? Thanks for your time, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peoriapc Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I'm trying to research dataref arrays not try and figure this out. Can this all be done in mobiflight or do I need to be programming in something else? It looks like I need to create a variable from the array and then read the variable. Something like dataref( "Nose_led_1", "tbm900/lights/ice/airframe_deice", 0 ) gets inserted somewhere (mobiflight or a folder or a program?) and then to read it I just put Nose_led_1 as the dateref in mobiflight, right? Am I making progress? Sorry for the newbie level of intelligence here and thanks a ton for helping me, I very much appreciate it!

peoriapc Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I just realized that I put Nose_led_1 in the last post. In the case of the airframe leds the variable would be something like "airframe_led_1" right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
