[NEW SKETCH]: 2A13-BACKLIGHT_CONTROLLER.ino

[Arribe]

Description

Initial start at backlighting code. Comments not done, and only coded for 2 panels on the UIP for an example of how BL channels with multiple annunciators could be handled. LED strings with mostly just backlighting will be simpler, and the BL code may need to be pulled up a level out of the panel specific headers to reflect that the internal lights console's instrument knobs drive multiple panels at once.

Dependencies

• List any dependencies that are required for this change, including a full list of libraries required, especially if it is a new or otherwise unused library in the OpenHornet software.

Type of change

• New software module (new software module for slave)
• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• This change requires a documentation update outside of the automatically-generated Doxygen documentation.

Checklist:

• My code follows the style guidelines of this project
• I have complied with the software manual for this project
• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• I have commented my code fully with Doxygen compatible comments, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
• I have made corresponding changes to non-Doxygen generated documentation
• I have ran Doxygen locally, and it builds the docs successfully
• My changes generate no errors on compile in Arduino IDE
• My changes generate no new warnings on compile in Arduino IDE
• Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules
• (For sketches only) This sketch complies with OH-INTERCONNECT v10
• If this sketch requires additional libraries, I have added it as a sub-module per the Arduino Libraries section of the Software Manual.

How Has This Been Tested?

• I have tested the sketch in-circuit in DCS with DCS-BIOS and outputs (displays, LEDs, etc.) function as expected.
• I have tested the sketch in-circuit in DCS with DCS-BIOS and HID inputs (switches, pots, etc.) function as expected, with switches moving the correct direction.
• I have tested the sketch in-circuit in DCS with DCS-BIOS and any logic in the sketch has been tested and functions as expected.
• This code has not yet been tested in-circuit.
• This code has not yet been tested in DCS-BIOS.

Description of Testing

Initial DCS Bios testing with sim running. Master Arm backlighting with brightness control works via the instr lighting panel. The annunciators work with the correct colors using the light test switch.

Test Configuration

• Firmware version:
• Hardware: 0.2.0
• Toolchain:
• SDK: DCS Bios FP 0.3.9

Approved as POC for UIP backlighting. Still need LIP and L/R Consoles to close the issue.
