Got it to work

now to calibrate it!

= fixed

I want to build a collective lever for the X-plane R22.
I have an: LPD 3806 600BM G5 24C rotary encoder:
red 5v
blk ground
wht B - D3

grn A - D2

shield ground
on reset outputs start at 0 (digital and analog)
outputs increment by +/- 1 - need to find the scaler
The R22 collective is controlled by: actuator/prop-ratio: range 0-9 - actuator/prop_ratio_all

? which pins should I use - D2 & D3

? how to write the input - @ * scaler
? how to write the output - $
scaler of encoder output for a 45° collective uses a multiplier of ~0.045 - 1:1 - use a gear drive and recalculate
