I am using two different types of encoders:

- CTS288 16 detents

- ALPS EC11 30 detents

Mobiflight works fine with the KY-040 (20 detents). The ALPS requires 2 detents to increment and the CTS 3 detents. I have tested the ALPS and CTS on Arduino with another software and they work. Is there a Mobiflight parameter that can be changed to make these encoders increment properly?

Thank you
