Hello guys from this beautiful community. You know I did an MCP and I have the 6 position selector key for the angle of bank. When I want to program in Mobi, it does not appear so that in position 1 it can have 10 degrees, in position 2 15 degrees, etc. Can you help me please

Hi,
The information you provided is a bit sparse for me.
What I've learnt here

=>First separate hardware and software issue.
1) In your case the hardware should be a rotary switch.
The most common has 12 poles (30 degrees) or 8 poles (45 degress).
In Karl's MCP (what I have) bank angle is separated from headings and using a 12 poles rotary, in other MCPs a dual rotary + encoder is used.
Anyway you only have to wire 5 poles of the switch and connect to 5 inputs on the arduino.
2) Now the software side
You simply create 5 inputs for the 5 legs and enter code to set the bank angle correctly.
Here are the possible datarefs. I haven't program it myself, yet. So you should try.
sim/cockpit/autopilot/heading_roll_mode
sim/cockpit2/autopilot/bank_angle_mode

So which part is not working?

Do you know that you can simplify: if($=1,0,1) ?
Use simply: 1-$

Sorry I didn't explain well. I have 12 positions. But in Mobiflight I only have to go up or down one position. I don't have how in MSFS to select the grades in each position

Hi,
Ok I understand.
However this thread is about XPLANE, so I cannot help in MSFS. Sorry.
