I'm using a (genuine) Mega2560 with some dual rotary encoders (the type with the pushbutton center). Some are from Propwash and some are Bourns encoders but they both operate the same way. There are no V+ pins on these dual encoders so, using a simple loop sketch for testing, they're coded with INPUT_PULLUP resistors on the Mega. Every detent generates an output. This works as expected in a loop sketch on the Auduino IDE with output: Direction: CW -- Value: 0 Direction: CW -- Value: 1 Direction: CW -- Value: 2 Direction: CW -- Value: 3 Direction: CCW -- Value: 2 Direction: CCW -- Value: 1 Direction: CCW -- Value: 0 Direction: CCW -- Value: -1 Direction: CCW -- Value: -2 Direction: CCW -- Value: -3 Direction: CW -- Value: -2 Direction: CW -- Value: -1 Direction: CW -- Value: 0 Whenever I use the Arduino Bridge with Axis and Ohs the encoders are registered during Add Button Assignment for, say, COM radios. The issue is that only every other detent is detected. In other words, it takes a movement of 2 detents to get only one increment of change on the radio frequency. I can see the green indicator flash within the Assgned Buttons list, but again, only every other detent. The detents in between do not light the green indicator. Behavior is the same when entering the button assignment. A 2 detent movement is required to cause a change in the Assigned button/key area when assigning a new button. AAO version 2.70 b37 Arduino Bridge version 1.0 b12 I'd appreciate thoughts on how to proceed.

Hello everybody! So here I am again asking the community for help regarding my setup. I have Fsuipc and linda setup in my pc and all is good up to this point. I have built myself an fcu for an a320 with rotary encoders from ebay and plug and play leo bodnar 32 button interface. I connected the wires from the encoders to the interface and then I connected it to the pc and it works. Linda sees it and I can use everything in fsx, all good. Here's the problem and I'll make an example to make it easier to understand.When I try to use the rotary encoders, lets the one connected to position 13 and 14(speed), it doesn't work properly(this happens both in fsx and in linda). If I twist it clockwise it won't go 14,14,14,14 but it will go 14,13,14,13,14,13. Same in the other direction, it won't go 13,13,13,13 but it'll go 13,14,13,14 meaning that the speed value will change by 1 but it will come back by one let's say 100,101,100,101. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is it the Leo bodnar interface? Are the encoders not good(all of them behave like this)? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Dual concentric rotary encoders in the US?
Emilio_G posted a topic in The Home Cockpit Support Forum
Hi, I am looking for a distributor of Dual Concentric Rotary Encoders (with pushbutton) based in the USA. I am needing one of those devices -apparently manufactured by ELMA- but so far all the suppliers seem to be in Europe. I contacted one in the UK but he never bothered to respond my my queries. The other has a fine product but it costs nearly $100 for a single device, that is way over my budget. I plan to use it for a NAV/COM radio. Also,can anybody suggest me what to look for in an encoder for this application? and what to avoid? I will be writing my own software.
