Hi Tuomas,

i was wondering, how you could read this german speaking forum.
If i look at your finish forum, i simply understand nothing.

Ich habe 6 Jahren Deutsch in der Schule gelernt.

But it's rusty, and I use Google translator to read, it helps on stuff I dont understand otherwise

It's great - makes a lot of grammar errors, but makes it possible to understand what stuff is about.

I am not surprised it doesnt translate finnish though

I will have to look for that problem. The display test together with servo movement could be a good test to reproduce the problem.

kind regards Dirk [/b]

Yep. I also wonder what kind of input the "knitter"-type switch config expects. The rotaries I found are some ALPS ones with separated output, but they work a bit strange. The rotation-direction pin gives you pulse, but the other pin gives you "1" all the time. It also has a peculiar thing that when you change direction it first outputs one more pulse on the "wrong" direction before changing to the new direction. They are still quite nice anyway. Using them now for VOR and ADF and QNH etc knobs on the panel:



I did a VFR flight from EFHF to EFMI on vatsim today, using map, some vor radials and did some old fashioned map-and-heading navigation. It's great when I can twist the knob on the panel - everything works now without the mouse. I just need a good yoke and pedals. Plus at some point I want to do an alternate throttle that is king air -style with dual handles for throttle, prop and mixture. But that means more gauges too so it needs some planning anyway..

Anyway, back to the rotaries, I use "inverted, positive_edge" if I remember correctly and use them as two separate switches as far as FSBUS is concerned. Works great but the jitter protection hurts it a bit if I turn very fast. So I am wondering if there is a way to wire that thing as a knitter? What kind of pulses does it expect? I tried but got simply nothing from it.
