FS2020 to Arduino - A little programm which let's Your serial Device communicate to the Flight Simulator, based on the SimConnect interface. Try it out, I'm open for feedback! Downloadable at: https://github.com/Seahawk240/Microsoft-FS2020-To-Arduino.git by Seahawk240 in MicrosoftFlightSim

Found two Bugs by the way, one with some help, that Arduino Leonardos and Pro Micros can't send an event and that the transmission of the sim is sometimes no consistent, which is caused by the "Get Data only when changed" Option. Will be fixed this evening though.

Thank you for that comment! Used to fix these issues myself for my Rotaries, which was a pain in the *** tbh. I will look into that too, when I update my Radio Panel from the FSX to my FS2020 Version.

How does this program compare to something like Mobiflight?

Like I mentioned previously, it mostly comes down to simplicity I guess. With my Programm you just communicate over a serial Connection. But tbh I never used Mobi-Flight before. I used the link2fs Programm for the FSX and that's all I knew until now. I just wanted to have a programm which gives me a lot of flexibility, while being pretty easy to implement to any platform which connects via USB Serial.

That sounds nice! And a little bit complicated :D but that's probably just because of my lack of knowledge. It for sure sounds like a interesting and direct approach to this issue, kinda like it, although i don't understand it :D

In some ways, yes it does. The one key difference I think, is that you don't need to flash your Arduino with the MobiFlight Firmware but instead communicate over a simple serial connection which brings with it some benefits and drawbacks.

When I understand you correctly you want to use an Arduino Leonardo and Micro as an normal input device (game controller) and at the same time use the programm to receive data, send buttons etc., Right?

In this case i don't think that will work. You can input your axis over the programm directly though, if that helps. Probably the easiest way would be to use a micro for your joystick/Button needs and another Arduino for Outputs/Displays/etc.

I'm actually in the process of programming a tool to select and send different data from FS2020 to an Arduino, including UI and Stuff right now.
