    Can I use this type of Rotary Encoder for FSBus

    I have about 50 of these that I bought some time ago. No data sheet but this is what they look like.

    http://www.bourns.com/data/global/pdfs/PEC12.pdf

    Can they be used with FSBus.

    Hi Stefan,

    I have tried them but I am not getting what should happen as in the instructions.

    Tried all things with them but I just get 1's and 0's. No -1's

    I have followed the tutorial in the manual 100% but I must be missing something.

    I have put all the gauges back into the sim and I am going to fly for a while and then do some more coding.

    Appreciate any help you can offer with these encoders though.

    Thanks
    David

    I followed Dirks instructions. I used flat cable, pin 1 to first wire, pin 2 second wire, pin 3 to third wire. (then I tried all variations of this ie: wire 1 to pin 2 etc)

    Plugged it into port 20 or position 20 as it has to start on a even number, and in FSAdmin, Set key 20 to Phase A type rotary (infact, I tried all the types type b, BCD, even Greyhill even tried setting 20 and then 21 to type A, type B etc) they all did exactly the same thing ie:

    20 1
    20 0
    21 0
    21 1

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

    Did you set the jumper for configuration?

    Ok, there's something new. What jumper. Do I need to set a jumper to configure the switch type in FSAdmin?

    The contoller CID of the DIO board is 27 and has been set for months, but are you saying that I have to set J16 in order to configure the switch types?

    Yes. Every change on a FSBUS board (Display not) need to set the config jumper.
