How can I control the brightness of internal lights, with shortcuts?

I’m trying to map buttons (using an arduino button-box) to control internal lights, but for now I can only figure out simple on/off - I can’t figure out how to control the strength (ie turning brightness up/down of the panel-lights or glareshield lights, fx).

I super-simply map external buttons to the built-in shortcut commands in MSFS (and adding custom shortcuts for those that don’t have default values), but for the life of me I can’t find any that decrease/increase brightness on any internal lights. I’m specifically trying to get this to work in Cessna 172, Baron and the Mooney, but I haven’t found a way in either of them.

In the end, I used Spad.Next to do this. Found which simconnect events were fired, and bound them to some of my Saitek FIP dials.

We’re you able to apply the brightness to an axis using SpadNext? Would you provide a screenshot of your spadnext config for the glare shield and gauges please.

Thanks

Sure thing

Also, do you know about the Event Monitor in Spad.Next? Very useful to figure out which events to look for.
