Since the last update my super carrier module will not work if this mod is installed. The ME will allow you to place/edit all super carrier assets normally, but when you enter the game they don't appear - confirmed, not on F10 map. [mods were uninstalled prior to update] I found the exact same issue I was having described and resolved on the thread below. Anyone getting this issue with this mod? Described & Resolved:

I've seen the resistor ladders used. Do you know if/how they work with DCS-Bios? I think it would bring me back to where I started - wondering about modifying DCS-Bios code. Based on what I read it seemed like wiring wasn't terribly difficult, but won't work with DCS-Bios.

I used this stuff. The 3M adhesive is legit. It honestly stuck to unfinished plywood which completely surprised me. You gotta be a little strategic about how much you put on your controls because they aren't lying when they say 'extreme'. I used a strip on 4 sides of the joystick, but only 2 on the throttle since it doesn't move in 2 directions. I would recommend this stuff, especially for the price and simplicity.

How are folks addressing home pits requiring more than ~10 I/O ports? Just keep adding Arduinos? I'm planning on making a second button box for the FA-18c and I would like to add the INS rotary switch, but it requires 8 pins. I would be fine omitting the positions after IFA if I could edit the code below. Wondering if there are any 'reasonable' ways to reduce the number of pins needed for a 'SwitchMultiPos' in DCS- Bios? const byte insSwPins[15] = {PIN_0, PIN_1, PIN_2, PIN_3, PIN_4, PIN_5, PIN_6, PIN_7} DcsBios::SwitchMultiPos insSw("INS_SW", insSwPins, 15);

Thanks for the response! Multiple Arduinos with a USB hub was kinda a fallback plan for me, but it seemed like a rudimentary solution. That said, I'm here to play the game not become an electrical engineer. Think something of this nature would work; a hub I could put in my enclosure? The basis for my question is I'm looking at adding the INS rotary switch to my second box and this monster just gobbles up the I/O pins. It calls for 8 pins! I'm open to other solutions as well. I was about to start another thread about reducing the number of switch (pin) options in DCS-BIOS, but I have a feeling I would have to go beyond manipulating the copy/paste portion of the code. 5V USB HUB USB2.0 Hub Concentrator 4-Female USB Expansion Board Module | eBay

I'm new to this forum and also just completed my first button box using DCS-BIOS. I'm starting to plan another box or two and am wondering what options there are for expanding the number of available pins on my Arduino board? I would prefer something a little smaller and more cost-effective than buying an Arduino Mega. On the same note, I am pretty new to this stuff and am not looking for a solution that would involve a lot of coding or advanced circuitry. I have an UNO in this box now, but am planning on swapping it for a Nano when I go in and solder all the connections. If there is an existing post on this topic I didn't find I would appreciate it if someone would point me in that direction.
