[0024] In some embodiments, the dimming sub-circuit includes a three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1, a second resistor R2 connected to the adjustment end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1, a variable resistor R4 connected between the adjustment end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1 and the power ground, a second capacitor C2 connected between the input end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1 and the 28V power supply, a first diode D1 having a positive electrode connected to the output end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1 and a negative electrode connected to the input end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1, a second diode D2 having a positive electrode connected to the adjustment end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1 and a negative electrode connected to the output end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1, a third resistor R3 connected between the adjustment end and the output end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator U1, and a third capacitor C3 connected between the dimming power supply and the power ground, and the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the switching sub-circuit.

[0025] In some embodiments, the switching sub-circuit also includes a first resistor R1 connected between the day / night switching signal and the positive input terminal of the relay JDQ1 and a first capacitor C1 connected between the positive input terminal of the relay JDQ1 and the power ground. The negative input terminal of the relay JDQ1 is connected to the power ground, the output 2A port is connected to the dimming sub-circuit, and the output 2 port is connected to the power ground.

[0026] In some embodiments, in the day mode, the day / night switching signal inputs a low level signal, the relay is released, and the switching sub-circuit is not connected to the regulating sub-circuit.

[0027] In some embodiments, in the night mode, the day / night switching signal inputs a high level signal, the relay is energized, and the switching sub-circuit is connected to the regulating sub-circuit.

[0034] The working process of the circuit provided in the above embodiment is as follows:

[0037] The working principle of the circuit provided in the above embodiment is as follows:

[0038] The "day mode" and "night mode" of the indicator light of the automatic flight control board are switched by releasing and attracting the relay JDQ1. In the "day mode" mode, the resistance value of the adjustment end of the three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator is adjusted to change the voltage applied to both ends of the indicator light between "27.5V and 14.5V".
