    Using real aircraft toggle switches

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if its possible to use these toggle switches on the right of the picture

    with Leo's BU0836X joystick controller. I have 5 toggle switches from a hughes helicopter and want to add them to my panel, they have just 2 wires so is there any way to test them to see if they work
    I haven't got Loe's board yet but going to order it soon

    Regards

    Rhys

    Chuck a multimeter on the two wires and check for resistance when
    you filck the switch...

    Thanks Nat

    Brought a cheap multimeter, and yes when I flicked the switch I got a reading even tested the fuse and that work as well.
    When I get Leo's board I well assign some switches with FSUIPC

    cheers

    Re: Using real aircraft toggle switches

    Hey Nosecone,

    Did you ever get those switches working? I am starting a build of a Scweizer 300 and am sourcing original ball end toggles like the one in your picture. I want to make sure they can work before I go too far.

    Thanks,
    Stuart
