[austintan]

Hi people,
I have gotten my saitek TQ and am now getting my materials to make the flaps lever since i dont indtend on getting another one. Now here is my problem, I am planning to buy a BU0836 but how do i interface the lever? using a wire to connect to a pot? btw i dont know how to connect the lever to the pot and the pot to the BU0836. Any help pls? thks

Because my simulater aircraft, a Piper Tripacer, has discrete "notches" for the four flap settings (0, 15, 30, & 40 degrees) I am using small micro switches to indicate each state.When the flap lever is moved to a notch, one of the switches will close and can be read by a card like the BU0836.
