Hi @Voyager, is it a Genuine Arduino MEGA 2560 or only a compatible one ?

A good compromise would be to be able to disable if any simulator is available (presence polling), in a more standalone and decorelate running application

My wish would be to get an additional custom version of Air Player, in order to open to projects which wouldn't require running flight simulator, or even easier, a persistent option which would allow to disable Air Player for internal flight simulator polling. This feature would allow to communicat...

First INO shot which is working properly, though requires to be enhanced and to add the button press handling to trigger the save to persistence in the AM instrument : // controlling addressable leds WS2812 units (neopixel types) from Air Manager with simMessagePort // Written by Joe Hanley - 2022 -...

Yes, exactly :D It's on the way ... Just to mention, this will also answer to one of my requirement, to light up the simu rig keyboard area when night flights are in progress, with the goal to get a specific tint around soft amber/yellow/white mix with accurate intensity (a bit of what we get with ...

I see, this would allow to re-use the stored RGB values from persistance and get the expected tint on visual on each AM instrument run ... !?
Like for example the specific warm amber annunciators leds, together with the blue ones, in the 737 OVH.

Small fix for wrong click spots placement : https://siminnovations.com/forums/viewt ... 962#p58962

Thanks Joe for the advice and yes I've seen some strange behavior using global brigthness. Just going back to home atm, so I will have a look again to add some enhancements, then posting the INO sketch when all is working properly.

Made an arrangement to your instrument this morning Joe, in order to add more tints I will also put the INO sketch for brightness handling using an ADC input image.png [EDIT] updated to v0.0.2 - fix for click spots location 0 - 0 AM - RPi Pico RP-2040 - Messageport rgb led 3 Neopixel driver via mess...

Made a new attempt with Message Port and the Neopixel with the alternate Pico RP2040 AITEXM/Winbond (TZT like) which isn't seen from Air Manager 4.2.4, where the VCC-GND was seen previously as Arduino UNO (still ok with this VCC-GND after re flashing atm) Will have a look tomorrow, a bit late today ...
