Bodnar slow encoder problem may be fixable...Lua help needed please!

Thanks Reid
So I paste the info into text document and save the file as " ipcReady.lua" that's it

That's it. The program is only set up if your encoders are wired into buttons 31 and 32. So hook your encoder up to those for now. I have not figured out how to set other buttons yet, but will be asking for more help from Pete on a few questions.

Need to get myself into gear and get the full version of Fsuipc. Looking forward to getting the encoders. I am sure I will have more questions soon

Hi Reid
Rotary encoders have arrived. How are they wired up?,the encoder as three pins and the board has two connections

Please forgive the confussion, I have connected the middle pin to the Gnd slot and the left to the B32 slot so where does the right wire go.

Attach it to b32. Then set b31 and 32 as encoders in the encoder utility the last thread mentioned.

Hooked up the encoders went in to control panel/joysticks and great, the encoders are showing up.

I got 16 dent encoders. Would the non dent encoders have been better for adusting HSi and VOR
Also when setting up the encoders with FSUIPC can you use both left and right rotation on the encoders
Thank heaps for all the help I really am a novice but getting there slowly

Rhys,

Not sure about the detentless question. I think that the number of signals sent per revolution would be the only difference. Will leave it to others to prove me wrong though.

As far as the rest of it goes have you:

1. registered FSUIPC?
2. Copied the LUA file and saved it as ipcready.lua in the modules folder inside your FS main directory?

If the answer to both of the above is yes, then start a flight in flight sim. Once in the cockpit, hit alt to get the windows menu across the top. Go to the add ons menu(far right in fsx), choose fsuipc out of the options.

FSUiPC will open up with about 8 tabs in a popup window. Choose the buttons tab. Spin the encoder slowly in one direction, then faster in the same direction. The button window should change between joy #64 0 and 1 or 2 and 3, spin the other direction slow then fast and see if the buttons show the other set. If this is working, then all you have to do is assign the correct button to the correct function. i.e. slow cw=vor1 obi inc and fast cw =vor1 obi inc fast.

Let me know if you need more help, or are not getting the 4 different button presses.

Thanks Reid
I will just let the credit card cool of a week then get the registered version of FSUIPC its about $50.00 NZ

If anyone can shed any light on 16 dent and non dent encoders making any difference that would be great

Thanks so much for your help
