Hello everyone and Sebastian

I constructed my own MCP module by using Mobi-Flight and Arduino. However, when I change the V/S it shows "0-050" when I set it to "-0050" on PMDG MCP, and similarly "0-200" when I set it to hundreds instead of "-0200" on 7 segment displays. Is there any solution for that ? How can I correct it ?

Another problem is qwith my IAS display. As you know tehre are 3 seperate offsets for PMDG IAS display. It shows every digits corrcectly, but when aircraft goes over speed, the "8" is illuminated on the display instead of flashing. What am I need to do to solve the problem and to make it flashable ?

Thanks.
Best Regards.

Hi!

if you really want to have the minus in front, always at the first position, I think you have to create two configs:

Config 1)
You check whether the value is less 0 and you output 0 or "-" n the first digit.

Config 2)
You display the actual value on the following three digits and you make sure to use "Abs($)" in the comparison tab (both if and else). This will remove the minus-sign in front.

The blinking unfortunately is not possible if you the offset doesn't contain this information.
I have thought about it a couple of times. Maybe I must add a blink option.

Have a great day!
Sebastian
