Hey Peter,
Looking at your code it looks like you control the brightness of the annunciator with a dataref related to some kind of lightning control knob in the Zibo aircraft. Is that correctly understood?
Are you limited to use the analog pins of the teensy? Are all the annunciators connected through a ULN2803A?
BR.

Yes, its controlled by the dataref of the backlight.
Advantages with this is that you dont have to link backlight and the know by hardware / cables.
Just torn the know and read the values from the Logic in X-Plane. Great.
You prob know this now,
I am limited when it comes to the large panels, but with our PCB i plan to use double PCB and 4 ULN2803A. Then the pins and ULN2803A should be enough. =)
