If you want to use this tools in your arduino sensors you need to have this:

First, install the necessary libraries:

  • install the zip library of dcs_bios to arduino, https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks/dcs-bios , in this github in the Programs folder you can get the zip needed to install the library.
  • install the TFT_eSPI library, it can be found in the library searcher inside arduino ide.

Second, Sensors:

  • SP8266 , this programas are based on that chip, its possible to do with ESP32 and arduino uno, nano..., but i leave it to you :). SP8266 Aliexpress
  • Screen ILI9488 , if you want to use another type like ILI9431....., you only have to go to the tft_espi inside arduino libraries folder, and in the user_setup.h change the driver to the one you need. Screen ILI9488 Aliexpress
  • Lever switch, i use this lever to Master Arm Switch, ARM/SAFE. Lever switch Aliexpress

to know how to connect the sensors to the ESP8266, i recommend this resources:

3d files

the 3d files are simple, its only one screen protector with an space for the lever switch.

testing inside DCS

When you had all you sensors working and everything configured, i recommend this video How to connect with dcs

functionality done

Right now the program only change between aoe_indexer and engine_information, if the landing gear is down, aoe_indexer will be active, otherwise, the engine information.
