I am trying to map the integrated lights dials in the A320 to the physical slider on my WinWing Ursa Minor joystick, I came across a Fenix support page that includes the script to map all integrated lights in the cockpit and read their value, however the example mapped them to an X-Touch mini encoder and seemed to use a regular button mapping (https://support.fenixsim.com/hc/en-us/articles/12466468901135-Example-of-How-to-Bind-Switches-Knobs-and-Buttons-on-FenixSim-Aircraft-to-External-Hardware#:~:text=In Axis And Ohs%2C all,A_FCU_LIGHTING%2C·Number)·}😞

 

(L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·1·<·if{·(L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·0.1·+·(>L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·}

(L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·1·<·if{·(L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·0.1·+·(>L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·}

(L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·1·<·if{·(L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·0.1·+·(>L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·}

And the code for decreasing them (separate script!):

(L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·0·>·if{·(L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·0.1·-·(>L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·}

(L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·0·>·if{·(L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·0.1·-·(>L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·}

(L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·0·>·if{·(L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·0.1·-·(>L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·}

 

I recreated the scripts in my AAO but can't figure out how to map them to the slider axis through the add axis (or how to map the axis to a button). I am completely lost it this point. Any help would be very much appreciated.

These scripts can only be assigned to button. All they do is increment or decrement the lights by 10%, they do not model an axis.

Sorry, I am not using the Fenix, so I can only give general advice.

First, you create a script that utilizes the scriptvariable to transform an axis value into a setting for the light potentiometers:

Scriptgroup: Fenix
ScriptTitle: LightsAxis
Code:

(L:Fenix-LightsAxis)·10·/·s0·
l0·(>L:A_FCU_LIGHTING,·Number)·
l0·(>L:A_OH_LIGHTING_OVD,·Number)·
l0·(>L:A_PED_LIGHTING_PEDESTAL,·Number)·

This script you assign to an axis where you set Axis Min = 0, Axis Max = 10, Rounding = Int. The axis will transmit a value between 0 and 10 to the script, which will divide it by 10, resulting in a value between 0 and 1, which it will then write into the lights variables.

- The first LVar in the script is the "script variable". Its name is "(L:scriptgroup-scripttitle)", so should you decide to rename the script or store it in a different group, the script variable must be renamed accordingly.
- Please note the use of RPN registers here: "s0" stores the value in register 0, "l0" retrieves it from register 0 (that is "ell - zero", not "ten")

thank you so much for the prompt response! 

AMAZING! the script worked beautifully!!! I'm going to try and adopt it for other planes if I can as well. Great job!
