ok you guys Im in pain reading this.. if your controller has limited output then give it a boost... and you are just wasting your time trying to drive 24vdc lights from a 5v (TTL) drive through a relay.<br>please find TIL-111 or opto-couplers, they are isolated so you dont blow up your controler<br>
basicly you put in the input your LED out put to one pin, the other is ground. the other side looks like an open collector curcuit. <br>for more notes <a href="http://simpits.wetpaint.com/page/Driving+Cockpit+Lamps">http://simpits.wetpaint.com/page/Driving+Cockpit+Lamps</a><br>

<div>ok, I have a Multicontroller in my F-4 sim. The F-4 is the sim where I am slowly making the steam gauges functional. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am using the Multicontroller LEDs for marker beacon lights, one for gear transisiton, and one LED for stall. But LEDs are not bright enough for my needs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I wanted to do as you described and I tried using the multicontroller gear signal to trigger some relays to control the 20v DC that I have running to the sim's real gear indicators. But I had no luck, could not get the Multicontroller it to trigger they relays. Would you mind sharing what relays and equipment you are using? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I agree the Multicontroller is a really neat little tool, though I think SimKits are now more interested in developing their stand alone USB guages.</div>

<div><br>>Yep. Simkits Multicontroller. Possibly *the* most under-rated <br>>device in all of the simdom...<br>><br>>It can drive LED outputs (or using some magic electronics, switch <br>>relays and the like) from a good number of FSUIPC offsets, as well as <br>
