[rotary encoder input speed]

I am struggling like many others with making rotary encoders perform well for turning heading indicators, obs, etc that require the ability to have coarse tuning and fine tuning. I am using a simple encoder interfaced through a Bodnar BUO836x card. It shows 2 separate button presses in the Buttons and switches tabs. 1 each for clockwise and counterclockwise.

While fiddling with my Goflight RP48, I noticed that there are four different commands sent by the encoder. Clockwise, clockwise fast, counter clockwise and counter clockwise fast. Not sure whether this is done by Goflight hardware or software.

I would love to duplicate this for my card. Is it possible through any FSUIPC programming method to duplicate this function? Macro's, Lua's?

Any help will be appreciated!

Hey.

I also use the Bodnar BUO836x card and just finished a very small portable little control panel. It has 6 rotaries on it. I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was to assign (using FSUIP) the switch (eg VS increase) to both the button and the release. This seemed to work for speed. I also changes the ms until i found a speed that I liked.

I am brand new to this, but it seemed to work for me.

If you have found a better way to fix this please let me know.

Thanks
