FS key problem

Jan 737 · 02.11.2005, 12:33

Hi,

I add the third fskey card (CID 3 )to my fsbus system.

But there is a problem:
No problems with separate switches, but when I add a 12-stage rotary then strange things happens.Turning the rotary,for changing the nav1 freq.,sets the spoilers to 100%, flaps goes down,N1 increase.
No matter on what RID I connect the rotary.
Chanched the rotary for another, same problem occurs.

Any idea what can cause this?

Bets regards

Hi Jan,

did you wire the 12 stage rotary as rotary? Also the Switch type should be selected for 12 stage rotary. Can´t think of any thing else causing such strange effect.

Hope it helps.

BTW:
I, myself never used the 12 stage rotaries, but the Alps (same system like Knitter but metal construction) and no problem. Luckily I found a source here in Munich, a kind of surplus shop, where you can get those rotaries incl. a push in switch for about 1 € each.
They are small and work like a charme.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the answer, yes I checked that.
The setup is good but the problem exist.

About the Alps, are you using them separate or as a dual concentric?

Is it posible to buy 10 Alps for me and send them to Holland?

Best regards

Hi Jan,

both, the Alps as well as Knitter have a too thin shaft (4mm)to use them as dual concentric. I done it with 2 knitters using a 90 degree gear made out of 2 tooth wheels. So both rotaries are 90 degrees mechanically shifted.
Of course could get you ten of and send them to Holland.

Will try to get downtown tomorrow to buy ´em.

Just let me know where to ship.

Thanks Peter,

Do you have a picture of it.
Is it possible to connect the Alps direct to the key board?

Send me your e-mail address, please.

Best regards

Hi Jan,

here´s the picture. Yes, you can directly connect it to the keyboard or FSBus etc.
It works like 2 turn dependant switches. Plus the push in switch on the shaft.

Check your pm for my e-mail address.
