Kevin, I experienced the same issue particularly with the OBS. The acceleration term for the encoder does work but it still behaves unrealistically. The typical way of programming the OBS function is to have the encoder function fire the obs1_up and obs1_down commands. A dataref subscribe is used to...

Hi Corjan, I have 4 I2C nodes in my panel. Three are 4 digit displays from sparkfun, the fourth is a 16x2 display with and I2C backpack on it. All total they use only 4 pins. I have a short Arduino sketch to program the addresses. They work flawlessly. Here are some pics of the boards. 2019-01-30 07...

Jacques, I like the flexibility with AM for programming. When you have hardware inputs that do not tie directly to a dataref or a command it’s difficult to deal with them in Ardsim. The Aspen is a great example. I still use Ardsim for my 7segment and character display as it supports I2C. Hopefully A...

That did the trick! I re-coded the leds to digital outputs and now the response is instantaneous. Another on point solution, Thanks Corjan

I have a 24 LED annunciation panel where each LED is triggered by a low side switch transistor, i.e. now current limit problems. The LEDs are sometimes very slow to respond to changes in the associated dataref. Watching Dataref Tool, the dataref changes state but it can sometimes take up to 30 secon...

I have a full hardware very realistic PA46 Piper Malibu cockpit with a lot of lessons learned. I use both Ardsim and AM although I am slowly migrating to AM. The switche connections are straight forward basically a connection between a digital pin and ground. One thing to be aware of is you will qui...

I checked my version of the Aspen and it’s set to 260x 494 which works out to the correct ratio. If I recall correctly the original version of the gauge did have an incorrect aspect ratio. I believe the original author set the aspect ratio to meet a particular screen that he had available. Since the...

Avid,

What simulator are you using? I have a fully hardware driven Aspen but it is for X-plane only.

It's a stand alone gauge just the three 20 position tcas datarefs. . I tried the timer but it seemed to que up the calls. Would one of you be willing to give my code a once over? It's not totally done but works well enough for testing.

That's what I use and agree Ardsim is awesome. Minimal Arduino coding unless u are dealing with custom data refs. In particular getting 10 second delay without using delay() for the knobs to return to default. Took about 50 lines so not really that bad.
