Switch position

[Dominik]

With LUA I can write an event e.g.

event.button (2,4,1, "EFIS320") and it works ok.

But how do you check with LUA what position this button is in? Whether it is on or off, what is the position 0,1 or 2

You have to determine if there is a simvar (a simulator A type variable, most held in FSUIPC offsets), or an lvar that holds the current which position. Its most probably the latter - try listing lvars to see if there is anything appropriate.  If there is, you can read that in lua.

I have a homemade panel. I want lua to read if a given switch is on or off. I don't mean the switch settings in MSFS, but the switches on my panel that I can set in fsuipc.

You can use the lua com library to read the state of buttons of a HID joystick type device - see the FSUIPC Lua Library documentation, function:
    com.gethidbuttons(handle, str)
