Glareshield Neon Tubes with Arduino and LEDs
I am coding the behaviour of the Interio Lighting of our sim. This is so far the simulation of the neon light starter:

That’s what I call dedication to details! Well done

Re: Glareshield Neon Tubes with Arduino and LEDs
Thank you so much! In fact, I have been inspired by the IXEG 737 years ago.
This effect is random btw. It sometimes starts better, sometimes slower. I should bind this to the aircraft cabin temperature.

Re: Glareshield Neon Tubes with Arduino and LEDs
I was thinking of temperature and you said it, that would even be nicer, but it already is. If you go all the way, I suppose they start faster (IRL) when they have been on earlier before. Is there maybe also a 60(?)Hz flicker IRL? Not sure if you would want that, it would drive you nuts
It might also be interesting as a hardware function for us to add.

In fact, there is already a temperature factor on it. So if you start it again, it should be faster. But I have to finetune this. And it is not yet depending on the cabin temperature.

Hi,
For flicker, You could use the timer function. 60hz = 16.666666666667 ms

Can you elaborate a bit on "our sim" please. I see you refer to it freely and I am intrigued why it is not my sim.

Re: Glareshield Neon Tubes with Arduino and LEDs
Sorry @Keith Baxter , it is more about our hardware, our PA-42 simulator, not about 'our software'.

Re: Glareshield Neon Tubes with Arduino and LEDs
The only variables that come from X-Plane are the cockpit temperature, the tubes voltage and the position of the dimmer knob.
The flickering, visible in videos, does not come from any gauges update rates but from the brightness function of AM. In fact I am using the LED function at the moment. Did not try the PWM option yet.
When filming with 60 FPS, it is smooth. But I don't have the option at my smartphone. So I did the video with the DSLR.

That is so cool. Are you open sourcing the code for this? I wouldn't mind having this as my future lights in my cockpitmarcel_felde wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 2:29 pm I am coding the behaviour of the Interio Lighting of our sim. This is so far the simulation of the neon light starter:
