Re: AM4 is giving me ghost inputs
Hi Paul, I am guessing that the OS is Portuguese. ? there is a start event at the beginning - SimRemoteServer: Accepted connection from 192.168.0.9 I am presuming this is the IP address of the actual machine (the 'remote' host / msfs) - then the Portuguese message is showing a disconnect initiated b...

Re: It’s alive! A real A320 Brake panel interfaced with Air Manager and FFA320
JackZ Jacques, There is a very interesting document here about the Eaton switch module. (it would appear to be of the same type as your units) It would seem that your units appear to be fitted with coloured incandescent lamps as you have a white unit. On the datasheet here - presuming the same bulb...

Re: It’s alive! A real A320 Brake panel interfaced with Air Manager and FFA320
Excellent stuff JackZ Glad you got it sorted. re the 'com' connection, yes, if you put it to ground it simply bypasses all the output transistors of the ULN2803 and grounds the LEDs / Loads via the flyback diodes and can actually be useful for that purpose in some cases. The 'com' connection is very...

Re: It’s alive! A real A320 Brake panel interfaced with Air Manager and FFA320
I think a lot depends on the way the panel is wired and where the inputs and outputs are taken from. It would be interesting to see the switch details though as to if they have a current limiting resistor internally, There must be one somewhere - but it could be external. Also if the leds are wired ...

Re: It’s alive! A real A320 Brake panel interfaced with Air Manager and FFA320
JackZ Jacques, just a quick question. Where is the 'COM' pin wired to on the 2803s ? - also, can you confirm that the power definitely goes TO the leds first, and THEN to the 2803 ?. so the 2803s are grounding the leds . The 2803 is a current SINK only, it cannot supply current, it can only sink it...

Re: It’s alive! A real A320 Brake panel interfaced with Air Manager and FFA320
Hi Jacques, Have you actually measured the current of a single LED using your meter ? - I presume you are powering the LED via the original wiring connector(s) on the panel ? Can I presume you are using 12V from the PC PSU rail, and also that one darlington pair drives a single led block ? - I belie...

Re: It’s alive! A real A320 Brake panel interfaced with Air Manager and FFA320
Thanks for the info Jacques. Just a point regarding the LEDs and driving them - You could use a constant voltage driver set to the required LED forward voltage. These would do the job fine - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001685726989.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.15f16d838PNDEx&algo_pvid=...

Re: connect a diy yoke to airmanager raspi
Hi Ralph, Thanks for the info. If I understand you correctly then that is a different scenario though as the controller is already a HID device connected to the PC and AM is intercepting and manipulating the calls. The common factor is that the joystick / game controller is direct HID. For an arduin...

Re: connect a diy yoke to airmanager raspi
You can do it with Air Player and an Arduino. Check out this example. http://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=Potentiometer_connection_tutorial Hi Ralph, Have you ever tried that with a yoke system / throttle / pedals when the only control of the pots on the yoke were via AM ? . I would have...
