• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Any Simconnect gurus here?

I was working on a little project with microcontrollers and suddenly realized just now that since I have the ability to communicate with my own software (Written in visual C++) to a microcontroller board with general I/O pins and A/Ds on board, I can pretty much start building some custom cockpit hardware since I can drive LEDs, read potentiometer positions, etc.

All I need is to find out how to send values from my software to and from FSX. Does anyone know a simple tutorial somewhere that would let me retrieve and set some value in FSX over simconnect like throttle position or light switch position or some such? I will be super happy if I could just flip lights on and off with an external switch! I know I need the SDK, but a clear example would be great if anyone has seen one. Thanks!
