MobiFlight Community Support

Hey. I have KY-040 Rotary Encoder it has 5 pins. GND, + , SW, DT and CLK. I really dont know where to connect the SW, DT and CLK pins. I have option for only two legs in the settings...

Another question is I have two input option for every leg. ("On Left", "On Left (Fast), On Right, On Right (Fast)). What is the "Fast" mode?

Hi ,

take a look at

Use A and B for the Rotary Config and the other pin as additional push button

FastMode means that you can assign a different function or value which is applied when you rotate faster.

Thanks! Its works great! Another question, any chance to make MobiFlight compatible with HD44780 LCD display?

Next step is steppers and servos. Currently I have not yet planned to support LCDs because I have not a clear vision of how to put the configuration into the MobiFlight Connector.

maybe better use arduino i2c LCD than old system HD44780 paraller LCD.
Thats only my suggestion only.

What "value" would u type into fastmode to get the encoder Count faster on a com radio for example? For example if i like to Count with twice the speed when turning knob faster..

Examples:
Normal mode: $+1
Fast mode: $+2

Not need use ky board because come cheapen use only encoder whit mobiflight, same but not have pcb board.
i use and working fine connect channel A to about pin arduino what use and channel B second pin arduino and center to GND ready.
i use cheap ebay encoders. many other flight sim system too (not only mobiflight) link2fs,leo bodnar card,etc, working fine all,

hola! sebasitian ....tengo problema con el encoder +push button no funciona correctamente cuando giro hacia la izq me aumenta en vez de disminiur su valor.
hice las pruebas de modificar los valores pre establecidos de MFC pero no funciona.
agradeceria toda la ayuda posible gracias

Hola.

Pls. try to request in english if posible.
Google translator for spanish is verry poor i think.

If i translate right youre encoder is inverted ? means it increase when you turn left ??
Change the value in config or just change the wire from pin A and B. So it should increase while right turn.

If this was not youre question please write again..... in english if posible. ( Or talk to a spanish member here)

Ok tony-m, as Pizman said, looks like your wiring is connected inverted in Arduino.

Check you have set On left config with $-1, and On Right config with $+1, if this is all right, invert your wiring and try again.

Ok tony-m, como ha dicho Pizman, parece que tus cables están conectados a Arduino de forma invertida.

Comprueb si tienes configurado en On left $-1 y en On Right $+1. Si esto está bien, intercambia los cables y prueba otra vez.


Best regards!
