Hello,
FSUIPC input 0BC0 is elevator input. -16383 to +16383
what is the equivalent in XPUIPC?
I am trying to connect an encoder to it thru Arduino digital pins. Am I doing this right? I am trying to get this encoder to function as a joystick.

Thanks

JB

Hi John,

how is your config to this offset?

I specify the left pin and the right pin to MF. Now I was looking for an axis parameter in the pull down menu, but I can find a aileron trim parameter 0BC0 but no axis. I wanted to put 90 deg left rotation of the encoder shaft to -16383 and 90 deg right rotation of the encoder shaft to +16383.

Just to explain further.....The driving wheels in the race car simulation have beautiful force feedback. They use an encoder connected to a DC motor that provides an instant reverse magetic torque when the wheel is turned manually by the driver. The torques is directly proportional to the angle of turn, and does not have any dead zone. It can also be adjusted up or down for tight and loose wheels. This is far superior to our usual spring loaded yokes. I want to build something like this for flight sim. I have an arduino+ arduino motor controller, and I send my encoder signal to the arduino motor controller and it controls the motor fine. Now I want to send the same encoder signal into MF and then MSFS or XPlane. That is where I am stuck. I am not sure if

a) I can feed the same encoder signal in parallel to the motor controller and MF. Perhaps it is too weak for both jobs. Then I need to duplicate the encoder signal thru the Arduino or boost ti somehow?
