OK, I've asked pdmarsh to help out, he is in another time zone though.
Sorry, I am without my dev PC so I can't assist with screenshots etc.
You can also post here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=137670&page=89
That is where we handle support, I noticed you want to use DCSFlightpanels so that is prolly the best place to ask questions.

DCS-BIOS is not only for Arduino. By using DCS-BIOS with DCSFP you get more or less access to the whole cockpit. You can e.g. read all kinds of values and you have more control over the switch bindings. Almost forgot, for the radio panel to work you also need it.
I agree there is some fidgeting required but you can't be that old that you won't get it working. Not possible. 😉

Perhaps you can leave DCS-BIOS for now then? Perhaps just focus on key emulation in the beginning?

The Saitek panels aren't that kind of devices like joysticks and such (HID). Therefore I made this software.
Look at the screenshot, there you see the menu for the BIP. It is also covered in the tutorial videos.

Yes, unzip and place them there. Look at the screenshot earlier in the thread for directory structure.
