I want to drive LEDs in the cockpit from an I/O card using Lua scripting. Turns out the Pokeys cards I have no longer have a supported library for P3D v5 and FSUIPC v6. Can anyone point me to an I/O card (prefer not using Arduino) that talks to Lua and FSUIPC. I will be mostly programming LVARs and not FSUIPC offsets.

What is the problem with Arduino?
You can use a Lua script and arduino or teensy without problems to do this.
Arturo.
It just seems to be another level of coding that I would have to learn instead of a turn-key I/O card. I could be wrong.
Jim, I would be happy to send you a copy of ONE my Arduino Codes, and the Matching Lua Script to go with it.
Its really easy, Copy Paste. My entire sim is Arduino/Lua based.

Trev, your offer is outstanding! Will enjoy looking at what you have.
Jim
Excellent...Now you start your journey down the path of the dark side. 8)
Which wouldn't have been possible without your help Fess! I will never forget that!

Trevor,
how many Arduinos do you have to run the simulator ? How many for MIP, MCP, FMC, Overhead etc ? I worry that too many Arduino will make too many USB disconnect issues. Do you use USB Hubs, if yes - how is the reliability of the complete setup ? I made the mistake to start with Open Cockpits cards, then introduced pokeys and also some phidgets cards... So too many different products. I want to simplify everthing and use only Arduino with mobiflight wherever possible..
Cheers

I am running (ALL PLUGGED INTO 1 USB HUB)
4- Mega 2560
1-Uno
1-Pro Micro
1-ESP8266
1-FDS Joystick Card for TQ
No Disconnects and since December 16th I have had usb's lockup 1 time. Probably something I did to piss it off with a lua script.
A simple reboot rectified the issue.
I will never regret dropping all the different interfaces and going strictly with Arduino, But I will make it clear I don't use 3rd party software like mobiflight I code my own LUA Scripts and talk to the arduino's through FSUIPC.
Everything in the cockpit is arduino based except the Yoke/Rudder Peddles (Pro Micro setup as game controller) and FDS Joystick card for the TQ.
