Slow turning encoders newbie looking for help


Recommended Posts

Hi All 

I'm currently trying to get my head around the rotaries lua example in the modular s folder. I am using leo Bodnar board and cts288 rotary encoders to adjust adf vor hsi etc   and finding it hard to get my head around LUA files .

 

I installed the lua rotaries examples and placed in the Modular's folder. Lua show up with several entries but just how you use them has me stumped. 

 In fsuipc under buttons +switches I  can set my rotary encoder to the adf card to increase and decrease  but that's about it not sure how the lua plugin works

First, have you assigned the same increment or decrement control to both "press" and "release" actions, so you get one inc/dec per click?

 

The Rotaries Lua is just an EXAMPLE, and as set it  works with the 4 rotaries on the GoFlight RP48 . As an example it is there to show what can be done.

 

Take a look at some of the other threads on the subject, for instance

Hi Pete

Thank you very much for your reply. I came across this post dating back a while http://forum.simflight.com/topic/68260-rotary-encoder-input-speed/

So I Placed the LUA file in the modular's folder, is that it?. I assigned my adf card but no change in encoder speed I realise its a example lua but for a real newbie how do you get them to work  

 

Regards

You need to change it to suit whatever hardware you are using. You'll need to go through it and program it as you need. It is not a beginner's job. The example is there to show how it can be done, but it is only an example.
