Hi! So i installed Mobiflight and XPUIPC, and the sim is connecting, but my parking brake switch from the tutorial is still not working.
Here is some information and files:
XPUIPC Version 2.0.3.8 64 bit
XPWideFS Version 2.0.0.2 64 bit
X-Plane Version: 11503

InI file:
XPUIPC Version 2.0.3.1 ini file

this is how the switch is connected to my arduino:

Hi

I´m not a Pro in XPUIPC as lots of people know..... So i never do those settings myself.

The first question is WHERE is the Problem itself..... Hardware, Software ( MF) or Software (XPUIPC) .

To locate this the first step is to confirm if the Button work.
Here you can use the "Keysend Methode" i explane 1000 times already..... Means you use as Input Typ "KEY" and use for example "a" on Press and "b" on Release.
Then you run Mobiflight ( Standaloane in Offline mode OR without Offline Mode if the Sim is also running same time) .
Then you open a Text Programm like Wordpad and click the Cursor active..... If you now pre the Button then it must write "a" or "b" whatever you set it to ON or OFF.

A Alternate is to enable the Logging Mode ( Typ Debug) and RUN Mobiflight and toggle the Button. In the Logging String you must see a Message for every Press or Release.
With this information you know if the Button (switch) basicly is working.


If you get information that switch is working fine then you need to check connection to Sim.
In case Input is problematic..... Simply make a Output for testing. Read the Parking Brake Offset and check if it show data. And Always use a standard Aircraft and NOT a AddOn for those testings !



At last....
Do you use a Server/Client System ?
I see you use "WideFS". This normaly is used ( in FSX/P3D) if you run Mobiflight on a OTHER computer like the Sim.
Here i wondering why in settings you say..... XPUIPC2XPUIPC Client mode = No

If yes..... then simply try for testing what happen if you use Mobiflight and XPUIPC directly on the Flight Sim Computer.
