PICAXE & Rotary Encoder Help Needed

Hi All,

I have just got in to PICAXE basic programming have have the PICAXE Experimenter board with a variety of PIC chips. What I want to do is using a single rotary encoder (which I have available) is see if I can control the altitude setting within FSX autopilot.

The problem is I have no idea of how to get data into FSX. I'm not a VB programmer nor have any real desire to learn it at this stage.

Is there anything out there that can provide me with a fast track solution?

Cheers
Darren
