Awesome, I will check out your example and the manual and see if I can get the touch value to show the way I want.  Thanks!

As for the coding change to fix the 100/1000 thing, I'll just wait for your release and then revisit it. I don't want to go changing any core coding just in case...like I said, i can easily spin it to the altitude I need going in 100s just fine....and honestly, I may just leave it that once I start using it that way and get used to it.

Thanks again for all the help! 

You can always send me your proof of purchase on the support email address (last page of the manual). Then you can have the fixed version plus the current build of the 2.71 to check it out.

You should really check out my Autopilot example profile... and the PDF manual that comes with the AAO StreamDeck plugin. Of course you can show any value(s) in the touch screen.

Could you point me in the direction of your Autopilot example profile?

Same place where you downloaded the plugin, AAO Weebly website, Downloads, little bit to the right and below of the download link for the plugin itself

Oh duh, there it is....didn't scroll down far enough to see your sample for the stream deck+!  I will check it out, thanks!

Altitude encoder works perfect now using your example! Thanks!

I did that for you.

Version 13.02 of the plugin is available for download now, the issue with the rotary encoders ignoring their value boxes  has been fixed.

Awesome! I'll go download it now!

I am not the greatest with coding, is there a quick and easy way to have the touchscreen on my speed selector (FMS or MAN) actually return a variable showing either "FMS" or "MAN" on the touch bar? I've already got the events in place on the touch bar to toggle between the two, and I have this event in the touch variable field....

L:XMLVAR_SpeedIsManuallySet, BOOL

...but as I said earlier, it only displays a 0 or 1 (obviously, since it's boolean). Is there a way to update that so that if the boolean is 0, it displays "FMS" and if it's 1 it displays "MAN"? Or maybe a better way to display that altogether?

The only way to display text is with the "Icon variable". The other two (Value and Bar) are numerical only. 
Set the Icon Variable to type "S:" and enter this code:

(L:XMLVAR_SpeedIsManuallySet, Bool) if{ 'MAN' } els{ 'FMS' }

Once again, a million thanks....works perfectly!

Seriusly a great job Lorby!

In a potential use-case Values on strep may have a status, for example the Heading may appear as a number of degrees and also as Heading Hold.

Potentially is it possible add a field like "On variable" and "On Value" to change a color, backcolor or icon on the streap knobs info? Like a kind of "conditional formatting" of the streap display.

All this is mentioned in the PDF that comes with the plugin.

Only the layout (font size, color) of the "icon" text in the lower left can be customized in any way, the "value" text to the right and the title layout are pretty much set in stone. You can display whatever text you want as icon text and value text, and you can display a "progress bar" type of graphic.

The features to change color etc. of the icon text are already in place. You can only display an icon or a text in that spot but not both, and for an icon you can probably use the default StreamDeck functionality.

But - since these encoders are still not described in the Elgato SDK documentation (in fact, the "Plus" doesn't even exist in that), this is all guesswork. We will all have to wait until they get around to releasing an actual specification for this.

Overview - Developer Documentation (elgato.com)

Thank you for the deepening. I understand that only the “icon text” has format and color properties. I’m sad that these properties can’t be changed or chosen by a value of a variabile. Like AAO plugin standard buttons do (on value property), in this case selecting between 2 icons or 2 Titles.

Uploading icons in several layers with script/variable controlled visibility, and dynamic text color will be available in version 14 of the plugin.

On Stream Deck +, I'm noticing significant lag in updating data both on the buttons and on the touch strip. I often have to switch profiles to force a refresh. Do you also have this experience?

Not really, no. But I am a version ahead of you, so that probably doesn't say a lot. The Plus seems a bit sluggish at times, but nothing major.

Before you start searching for causes - better to wait for the next release. There are many changes coming up with version 14 of the plugin and 2.71 of AxisAndOhs.
