    getting there

    Slowly getting done with my panel but I need to know how to wire a toggle switch, and a rocker switch. I have several drawings but each one is different, they will be used for lights just incase that is important

    Hi there,

    The two tabs on a toggle switch are usually just make and break, (open or closed depending where the toggle is). The centre pin on a rocker switch is usually the common and the switch will make contact with an outer pin depending where the rocker is.

    Pretty soon you'll be wanting a multimeter - pop down to your local radio shack and grab a cheap digital type. Put it into continuity testing mode, pop the probes onto your switch terminals and when the switch is in the right position to make a contact, you'll hear a beep. Once you get past a certain point with pitbuilding you really need a multimeter.

    I so want to make this unit badly,but know idea how and where to get tech specs and manual for it and can it be done for FS9 /FSX simulation Software?

    I hope someone outhere has any idea on the design of this unit..Please write back ASAP.

    already replied to your thread about this matter, the book has everything in it, from diagrams, Electronic schematics, PIC code, and a step by step documentation. Really, you need this book
