Autobrake switch
Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with the wiring diagram of the autobrake switch please and what type of switch to use. I'm guessing a 6 position switch but i can not get it to work with a Leo Bodnar card. Am i missing something?
Thanks as always
Mark

Re: Autobrake switch
Checkout Ian Sissons site http://www.737ng.co.uk/technical.htm
He's done a tutorial on exactly how to do this. Basically there are two methods, one using a rotary switch to emulate an encoder and the second is to use five of the 32 buttons on Leo's card and attach one to each of the rotary switch positions. Then attach a single ground to the centre pin of the switch and assign them individually in FSUIPC.
Hope that helps,
Joe.

Re: Autobrake switch
hello mark.......
there is an issue with using a rotary as an encoder. i have found that (for some reason i haven't fathomed out yet) certain manufacturers rotary switches give problems. this is possibly caused bu 'bounce' on the contacts when the position of the switch is changed.
so, to overcome this, here's another way to do it which is 100% accurate. doesn't use any button inputs at all. you fool the card into thinking it's
hooked up to a potentiometer and then in fsuipc, yoou can get all sorts of things done when the 'pot' enters a range.

hope that helps you out cap'n

Re: Autobrake switch
The answer is so obvious.... NOT.. Thanks Ian and Joe for the help. My guess is i properly would have gone insane trying to work it out but now it's quiet simple.
Thanks again guys

Re: Autobrake switch
While landing, the autobrake can aid in freeing up the pilot to allow him or her to monitor other systems (such as the execution of the landing flare). There are usually several settings for the "intensity," or hydraulic pressure of the brake mechanism. The selection of these settings are normally done on the aircraft instrument panel before landing. These are often numbered or labelled, with "1" or "LO" referring to braking for a light speed reduction, and subsequent numbers or designations up to "MAX" referring to more abrupt speed reductions.
