Arduino and FSUIPC

Hi all,

I am trying to build my own A330 cockpit. My budget is quite limited and has I have some knowledge with programming I will try to make my own switches and knobs and panels. It will be nothing fancy but it will work (I think kkkkkk) At the moment I just want to understand how things work and how technology interacts with each other. Here is my doubt.

Is it possible to connect Arduino directly to the FSUIPC? Is so, here to find some sample or tutorial?
I have seen some samples connecting Arduino to FSUIPC but they use some middle applications developed in VB.NET, C# or other, why?

Thanks a lot,
Carlos.

Have a look at Mobiflight https://www.mobiflight.com/en/index.html

It is also compatible with Jeehell FMGS

it is possible to flash an Arduino so it becomes just a HID device and will be recognized by FSUIPC.
