component switch led

The most common thing on a moders flightdeck is a switch

with and embedded led..

The switch can be a on off, ie physicall in out.. or a momentary switch..

generally there is an led embedded in the switch to indicate its state.. So the switch and the state led are sometimes a loop..

In general, a flight of switch actually creates a circuit..

Lets consider a simple switch on the flight deck.. The nav lights and this is a couple of switched above and when down, lights on.. So these direct in real world a relay the other side, and down with current.. and amps mega (and only possible after engine start as not enough current)

The other candidate switches are the landing lights and simple stuff..

But infact this leads to the main root issue.. of a physical switch cannot be in the same state as the simulator..

At the same time, most important buttons are actualyly push state and an led feedback..

================================================ Problems to solve

  1. Basic switch..

We need to define the basic rail and in fact u can plugin your usb.. and there is a @switch@ u use to @power your deck@ and much like the real one, we can have two

TODO explain tri state and flash switch..
