Having Simulators and Home Cockpits with Back Lighting is definitely a game changer. Back Lighting adds another level of comfort, and it makes it easier to locate specific labels or instruments. However, sometimes the lights may be too bright, or to dim, and need to be either increased or decreased....

Labels don't have to be perfect, but they are absolutely essential for safe flying as well as learning. It would be impossible to follow checklists, fly the plane, or enjoy a well put together DIY Cockpit or Flight Simulator Panel without the proper labels. In this video I show you how it can be don...

One of my previous videos showed how to add Switches and Pushbuttons with LEDs, now we review Encoders with LEDS:

This video demonstrates how Touch Sensors can also be used to create a fun and different way to perform actions in the simulator just as you would by using a Push Button or Toggle Switch. The TTP223 Touch Sensor Module offers several configurations and the option to add LEDs, which can be used as st...

In addition to the reply above, remove ALL USB devices and plug in the FIPS directly to a USB 2.0 port on the motherboard and try again. keep us updates :)

Did you ever find your answer to this?

Multiple Simultaneous actions and inputs, as well as outputs and Voltages, are possible using basic components such as Double Pole Single Throw and Double Pole Double Throw Switches. This video shows you how to use these switches to send simultaneous actions or create several circuits completely sep...

Great concept and very useful for Flight Simulation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpdtrZrMZ3c

This video helps answer the questions: Why are Flight Simulator, and Flight Simulator Components (or Flight Sim Gear) so expensive? The Video dissects some components and explains the basics of Fidelity and Electronics used in building Flight Simulators. Three examples tackle the cost of different t...
