Dave, If you haven't found it yet,just give a couple of days to have look. Not sure what version I had but will check. Les

Hi, I am interested in your product but do worry about this gauge inaccuracy. Can you not do what PM does with its gauges. Place a entry in the cfg file to correct it. Thanks Les

Thanks Mike,Point taken,i think i must have been optimistic when i said $6.will just use a rotary.Rgdsles

Hi Mike,Further to the above,i came across this device while looking for hall efect rotary sensors.After reading your latest imfo.Its a Vishay Smart sensor 360 degree continuous rotation.Linearity 1%.Price of theses are only $6 at mouser.Do you thinkthese would be much more stable than a pot.The Vishay part Number is Model 601-1045.Be very interested in your comments when you have time.Thanksles

Hi Mike,Thanks for the comments.Yes i have tried a 5k ordinary carbon pot.The results are the same.Even the IOcards support people say that with good quality pots this oscillation occurs.So it looks like i will have to revert back to Rotary encoder.5 turn pot would have been really realistic as the true trim controls have 5 turns end to end.I checked this stability when i configured the slider from the joystick and find MS increments in 210 blocks as against single unitswhen config thru a/d.If i didnt want to read position with a servo,it would not worry me.Thanks for your comments,if any bright ideas pop up i would be glad to hear them.Best RgdsLesP.S Ive been following your thoughts re the new book.Any idea when we may be able to buy.Looking forward to it.The first one was greatinspirational material.

Hi Mike,I would like to know if you could supply some suggestions to help with the following problem if have.I run IO cards Servo board which can handle 4 analogue inputs and sixservos.They use a 16c745 pic which uses the supply for Vref for the A/D.My problem is that when connecting a pot(i want to use 5 turn ww pot)for trim control i find the output is not very stable.I find the trim postion servo chatters at the same time as the trim wheel in FSstutters.Iv looked at the output to FS and last digit from the a/dvaries.If i replace the pot with a fixed resistor divider this instability virtually dissappears.Iv been told by IO Cards peoplethat this is normal and is caused by the pot im using.Suggestedusing a more expensive one.Ive tried various ones but to no avail.Can you tell me what i should be looking for in the spec sheet to have minimal instability.Or am i not able to get this stability.I have assigned the slider on my joystick for elevator trim and connected up my servo to servo bd and all is nice and stable.So myservo bd is capable of stable operation.But finding a suitable pot is a big problem.I tried bypassing the data input to the pic with 0.1mfd caps but it didnt make any diff.Hoe you can help me out.Thanks for reading thisLes

Thanks Norbert,You have confirmed what i thought.I do use another interface for controls but wanted the analoue inputs for throttle,prop and mixture.Its a pity that more things seem to break with each new version.With the current version of cdk(1.2) the analogue pots work fine in the Setup option but seem to get screwed when routing thru fsim.Eric:Sorry cant help on your probs,im way behind you.Yes im using the CDK(1.2).Seriously considering going over to I/O cards.Fsbusseems to have more probs with each release.Take Care guys and thanks again for replying.Les

Hi Norbert,You seem to be one of the few still working with Fsbus.I see from one of your posts you listed code showing the use of POTI statement.Have you actually tried to use this command with hardware and not the VC option.Im able to get the VC to work with the Mixture, propand Throttle.But not my hardware.Fsadmin shows my pots working fine.Can you confirm that you have had the hardware work the controls inFs9.I used your code but still it didnt work with hardware.Also i notice that the cowl Flap control doesnt work properlyanymore.This was brocken once and fixed but it appears not rightwith the latest version.Are you able to confirm this.Look forward toyour comments.RgdsLes

Hi David,Yes a piece of wire will do just fine.No need to use smd o ohm.If you look on page 10 he mentions using apiece of if you dont have a smd resistor.Merry Xmas and safe and happy New year.Les

Thanks Bill,All ok now,what great service.RgdsLes

Hi,Ive downloaded the HTML doc so i can see videos ect.However most of the imaged are blank.How do i ensure these images are readable when viewing these docs.Just perusing the doc before buying.Pleaee help.Ive downloaded the pdf version,but i want to use the Browser one.Its a great presentation,so hope someone can help soon.ThanksRgdsLes

Hi Eric,I tried to reply to your email but had it rejected.So i havnt been ignoring you.Yes im still with FSbus and hope it will be plain sailing from now on.Good to see you are ok now.Take CareLes

HI guys,Just to let you know that Dirk has updated the Fsbus.exe to 1.0.5 (Beta).This fixes up the Bit command that used when configuring light switches.Those who havnt updated from 1.0.3,it also corrects Fsadmin Analogue probs along with the analogue correct operation inFsim.See the readme file. Thanks DirkLes

Hi Nico,Thanks,i ve already saved many of your examples and will add those as well.While i get to grips with i/o cards.Les

Hi Eric,Tried to reply to you via your email,no luck.Re your lates problem,sorry not been using rotaries,Have now abandoned Fsbus as there are still to many bugs.Unfortunately still some of the old onesfrom 2.4.3.Im going to start again with I/O cards.Fsbus is very goodbut support is very slow.No trouble with contacting me via email.Les
