    Great, thanks Stefan.

    It's not clearly stated in the manual from an English speaking persective (I feel anyway)

    So does that mean that when I was trying to get the Analog out to work with the fuel gauges, that I had to have J16 set to enable the port?

    Re: Can I use this type of Rotary Encoder for FSBus

    Hi Stefan,

    Just an update. Tested the analogue out - works great
    Rotary encoder Type B - works great.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

    Missing that tiny piece of info about the jumper was all that was wrong.

    I'd still like to try to code the analogue out gauges if you are still willing to help me. If you can give me an example of what I need to write specific for voltmeters, I should be able to experiment with numbers until it works.

    Thanks again.
    David

  5. Thanks sgaert thanked for this post

    Hi,
    Analog Out is like a Servo.
    You have a range of 0-255 on output.
    Look to the FSUIPC SDK there you see the right calculations.

    Re: Can I use this type of Rotary Encoder for FSBus

    So basically, I'd use the calibrate function.
