Help with PFC Yoke needed

[Bob Scott 7,718]

Howard--one wire connects to terminal #2 (the wiper, the leftmost terminal in the pic), and the other to either terminal one or three.  With one of the two (1 or 3) connected, the resistance (and axis value) will change in the proper direction, the other will be reversed.  Simple trial and error to determine which is the correct choice.  It also does not matter which of the two wires goes to terminal  #2 and which goes to the other--pots work the same both ways.

 

P.S. Also, you can arbitrarily connect it to 1 or 3 and if it's backwards, it's a simple thing to check the reverse axis box in the joystick calibration or in FSUIPC.

Thanks Bob. I think I can follow that :wink: I'll report back, thanks

Hi Bob, thanks for your advice (and Mark) I have actually managed to get the thing working, at least the pitch... now, for some reason, the roll axis no longer works!! Have I done something stupid?

Could you have pulled another wire loose?

Not that I can see Bob. I will look a little closer...

Voila! Sorted. Your suggestion of another wire loose was the culprit Bob. It couldn't be seen because it was hidden beneath a rubber sleeve which went over the terminal, but beneath, out of sight, it had come loose. So all working now. Thanks for your help, and Mark, much appreciated. Cheers.  :smile:

Well, glad to hear you are sorted! That looks like too good a yoke to chuck in the skip.
