hello, i had a problem with 1 toggle switch that i want to use as ignition that stayed ON all the time...in game. here is how to manage that switch will send a pulse when on and send another one when OFF. needed: 1 pro micro or leonardo 1 toggle switch connect to a pin (10 here) and to GND if you already used your arduino as button box check in "windows game controller" which of the 32 buttons is available and remember it. PLEASE SAVE YOUR SKETCH IN PROGRESS I DONT wANT TO BE INVOLE IF YOU LOOSE YOUR wORKtest the code after a save as in case of issue 1-open Simhub Arduino configuration and reload last setting if you want to keep all previous stuff2-be sure GAMEPAD is ON3-select File>Open in Arduino IDE4-in DisplayClient2 tab look for "Joystick.begin" with ctrl+f and modify "false" by "true" and save the sketch and close IDE.5-in c:program Files x86>Simhub>_addon>arduino>DisplayclientV2 open with wordpad "SHCustomProtocol.h"6-copy this code void setup and loop are already in place careful to dont double them keep all other void in place (i added my file as attached) #include // Constant that maps the physical pin to the joystick button. const int toggleSwitchPin = 10; void setup(){ pinMode(toggleSwitchPin, INPUT_PULLUP); Joystick.begin(); } void loop(){ static boolean oldSwitchState = digitalRead(toggleSwitchPin); boolean newSwitchState = digitalRead(toggleSwitchPin); if (newSwitchState != oldSwitchState) { oldSwitchState = newSwitchState;// Switch has changed state. Remember the new state Joystick.setButton(31, HIGH);// the number is the available button -1, here it's button 32 delay(100); Joystick.setButton(31, LOW);// the number is the available button -1, here it's button 32 }} at lines Joystick.setButton put the number of the available button-1: if you want use button 5, put 4... 7-save and open Simhub Arduino configuration and the arduino IDE and Compile to check if there is any error in the code 8-Enjoy SHCustomProtocol.h
