Dim weather/radar display

Post by dkreiskott »

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to dim the two weather/terrain displays. This should actually also be possible with a potentiometer. However, I can't find any offsets for both sides that I could use to adjust the brightness?
Have any of you realized this yet?
Regards
Dieter

Hi Dieter
I set this in the "FMGS_Config" under "DUs Dimmer Potentiometers" - After defining and restarting the "FMGS_Config" the axis is empty again, but it still works

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for the tip, I haven't looked into that yet.
I actually planned to solve this with the Arduino, but of course that's how it works. :-)
Can you tell me which pots you used and where you got the corresponding knobs?
Regards
Dieter

You could also set a default brightness in the ini.file
