Which value are you trying to change?

Usually it is
- read an offset and display it on LED digits
- read, update and write an offset when using a switch or encoder

Both actions use the Flightsim as source or target.

If your LEDs show the updated values then the value at the offset you read has been updated. That also means the flight sim should be aware of your changes.

Have a great day!
Sebastian

Thanks Sebastian for this great piece of software!!!

Solved enabling the data comunication by adding the lines:
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

The values that i am working are FLT ALT and LAND ALT on PMDG 737-800NGX:

OUTPUT OFFSETS INPUT EVENT ID PARAM
FLT ALT 0x64E4 69850 INC value 8192 / DEC value 16384
LAND ALT 0x64e8 69852 INC value 8192 / DEC value 16384

OK, so
When i change the LAND ALT/FLT ALT in rotary encoder, the values are updating on 737-800NGX overhead and 7 led segments, but i notice the first changes are ok, but the others instead of changing for FLT in steps of 500/LAND-50 the changes are steps 1000/100 or 1500/150 or 2000/200 and so on...

Do you thing that is a sensivity problem on the encoders?
