another rotary encoder question
Hello, pro's!
I have read what mr. Nico Kaan wrote about rotary encoders on his site, but still I'm confused.
The encoders you can buy for Opencocpits is actually easy to connect directly to two inputs, I didn't know that, I have bought two input cards with rotary cards on them, but for these 288's, this seem unnessecary.
My questions are:
- What kind of encoder is Opencockpits encoder card for?
I have bought second-hand radio panels from Cockpitsonic, containing dual rotary encoders.
When I connect them to the OC's rotary card I have two options: If I tell them to be "type 2" (as the 288's) I get nothing but trouble. Tuning a radio will make it stand on the same value, only cahning up or down for a second.
Telling it to be "type 1", it works, but it will take two detents pr. action. It will do nothing for every other "click".
On the other hand, connecting it directly to two inputs (plus common ground) to the input card (without the encoder card) it will make two inputs per "click".
That is the total opposite!
So how can I use the rotaries that Cocpitsonic sells with their panels?
Confused here now;)
