Rotaries.lua on my new DSD button box? How?

[mtjoeng]

Bought a buttonbox from DSD has 5 encoders that are 1. really slow, 2. give a very sort pulse. Read about Rotaries.lua and tried to implement but doing something wrong. What I did:
renamed Rotaries.lua to RotariesDSD.lua which shows up in fsuipc.ini [LuaFiles]

In fsuipc.log about DSD box says: Vendor=04D8, Product=8A3D (Version 0.1) 
changed in RotariesDSD.lua: 

Vendor = "GoFlight"
Product = "RP48"
to
Vendor = "04D8"
Product = "8A3D" (and tried Product="8A3D (Version 0.1)", no difference, nothing)

Rotaries = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} 
to
Rotaries = { 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,24,25} ; 5 rotaries per fsuipc inquiry and assigned FS control:

rotary H, 24/25 to AP Alt Var Inc/Dec

then what? nothing different, what am I missing?

I read my MPC-Combo rotaries do a slow/fast pulse, this DSD box apparently does not, but that is where Rotaries.lua is for?

They are just hexadecimal numbers, so you could also use

Vendor = 0x04D8
Product = 0x8A3D

but the string versions of those should work. I assume you have checked those values in the FSUIPC log file where the devices are logged?

Is the Lua plug-in being run? How are you starting it?

Yes, but you may want to adjust the timing and poll rate to suit the device and your needs. Check the comments in the plug-in.

I'll try to return this button box, it's not fit to be sold as a 'flightsim' add-on.
