Where's the best place for the most active support/help? I'm guessing there's a discord somewhere, but Googling "DCS-BIOS Fork Discord" didn't get me very far. I PMed the invite link - not sure if I should put it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapti Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, Can I program a normal push button in DCS-BIOS so that the signal remains, after pressing it once and the signal disappears, again when it is pressed again? I would like to use normal LED push buttons for these keys in the Select Jettison Panel of the F/A-18C. The button should then only check the status of the signal. If signal present --> signal off If signal off --> signal on Edited December 19, 2023 by Rapti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msiipola Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 We need more information about your setup and hardware. What variable in the control-reference.html file are you trying to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If signal present --> signal off If signal off --> signal on Yes. You can use ActionButton. ActionButton only triggers on the press action, not the release. For that particular button (Station Jettison Select Centre): DcsBios::ActionButton sjCtr("SJ_CTR", "TOGGLE", PIN); "SJ_CTR" is the switch function. "TOGGLE" is what you want it to do when triggered. PIN is the input pin number. Edited December 24, 2023 by No1sonuk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrnet940 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 6 hours ago, Bdoyle13 said: Have you found a solution? I’m still fighting with mine… What seems to be working for me is bringing up the connect-serial-port.cmd and enter the port for my IFEI (for me it is 9)(I am using the one from TekCreations) and hitting enter; I leave this window open but move it to my second monitor. I then open multiple-com-ports.cmd and don't do anything, but move it to my second monitor leaving it open. Since I have been doing this, everything has been staying stable and working great. This is the first step that I do before going flying. Second step is getting my SimAppPro up and working. Third is starting VAICOM. Forth is starting TrackIR. Fifth is starting DCS. I will post a picture in the next few minutes. I need to restart my computer for everything to sync. I hope this helps.

hrnet940 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 This is what my second monitor looks like when I start DCS to fly. The top window shows DCS code rolling when I am in the sim and flying while the bottom window doesn't change.

Msiipola Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 You should not need to activate both connect-serial-port.cmd and multiple-com-ports.cmd. But you must include in the multiple-com-ports.cmd all ports you want to use (edit the file). If you use both, the multiple-com-ports.cmd must not include the port which is activated with the connect-serial-port.cmd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1sonuk Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 IIRC, the multi com port file does multiple calls of the single version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymanc Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think my brain is having a meltdown. I am well and truly stuck on getting a switch matrix to work. I have tried the following 2 approaches. Neither produce any signs of life from my panel. This is well above my capability it seems. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have a number of potentiometers, rotary encoders and 3 way switches on the panel, which are not included in the matrix. These all work fine. I'm using an Arduino Mega, DCS BIOS Fork, a keypad and 43 switches in a 8 column x 7 row matrix using diodes to stop ghosting.
