Joe,

Keith straightened me out. I now have a functioning pot working with my Xplane instrument lights.
Thanks so much for your help on the hardware side.

Hello to all,

@Kaellis991, could you please send me the script regarding the topic "Dimmer switch installation for cockpit". To get an idea how it works. I have the problem that I cannot control the cockpit lighting in the ToLiss A319. Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend.

I'm just now getting back to finalizing my cockpit software now that I have all the hardware configured. Trying to get these two dimmers working with Xplane and AM has me stumped though.
The multiple xplane datarefs that are activated by the dimmers have me going in circles.

I am completely lost in space here...so far I dont have a workable script for these dimmers when I try to add in the NAV light switch/dimmer on the left side of the switch panel.

Keith finally got me sorted out with the switches.
Both are now working properly.
Hats off to Keith.
