Hi all,
Burning brain cells here. Using latest mobi on a mega with p3dv4 using a stock (freeware) atr600. Was able to hook up switchs and leds to respond to those actions
( ie AP master) so i know things are working.

I have two kinds of encoders here.
1st one has these pinouts
Clk pin 6
Dt pin 7
Sw nothing right now
+ 5v
Grd grd

I setup the device as an Encoder with pin pins 6 and 7
Name it Encoder and select 1 detent cycle (00) in the drop down ( not sure on this drop down)
Save it. Upload.
On main
Make a entry called Altitude...
Go into FSUIPC logs and find event ID for increase and decrease of Altitude
AP _ALT_VAR_INC 65892
AP _ALT_VAR_DEC 65893
++VALUES FOUND AFTER TOGGLING THESE DIALS IN SIM THEN LOOK AT LOG.
There are other event IDs that might apply. Tried all.

Set up as
Module mega
Device Encoder
On Left fast
Event id 65892
And
On Right fast
Event id 65893.
I was able to Use scan to detect by spinning the encoder. I sees the rotation.
Also, when i rotate the encoder the TX light flashes but nothing happens in the sim. The event ids worked with heading and master so not sure why?
Have very few cells left . Please help
Thx
