Thanks Mike. I designed to be used with the EFIS/FCU, fits real nice :)

Oki, I may be stupid, blind or just tired, but I can see how you pull in the encoder shaft end then you activate momentary switch.:roll:
Hey Matt, that is very clever. It takes a lot to get any better than that. Congratulations.

The pull would be built into the rotary. Push hits the micro switch I believe.Quote:

Trev, "Pull" actually hits the micro switch against plate "I"
Note the Pic below.
The sides marked in red is one piece, the switch is on the back side of this section. The encoder is glued to the red sides. The white area "I" is stationary separate from the red area. So pulling the encoder pulls all that is in red, hence the switch presses against the white stationary plate "I"
Did I totally confuse everybody :)
I can't begin the countless hours I spent figuring this out and yet it's so simple, go figure.

Good stuff Matt, impressive!

AAA, You move whole internal piece, now I understand.
Thank you.
I can see it now. I didn't realize that the rotary was glued to the red sides, Excellent.
And as you say. So simple.
:mrgreen:
Very nice design Matt. I love seeing the great ideas that you guys come up with.
I just saw on Ebay a grayhill push pull encoder. Very rare to see these on Ebay.

Now this one is an exceptionally good price too. If you can use optical encoders with your interface then this one is a definate no brainer ;)

UAU... great and simple design, thank you Matt for sharing it. I`ll try to replicate for my EFIS/FCU and finaly realize push/pull :D.
