need help with leo bodnar bu0386 plus encoders

hi, im trying to understand the encoder configuration utility.

can any one explain the difference between the selections of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 type encoder for the menu option?

 

thank you for any info!

A rotary encoder has two outputs that go 00 -> 01 -> 11 -> 10 -> 00... when you rotate in one direction and 00 -> 10 -> 11 -> 01 -> 00... in the other direction.

 

I don't have any experience with the boards or that software, but I assume that this setting sets how many of these steps the encoder produces if you move it by one detent.

 

The only value I have seen so far (granted, a sample size of two different encoder types is pretty small :P) is 1:4 (so when the encoder is resting in a detent position, the output is always the same no matter what detent it is in). Start with that and if you have to move it by two or four detents to get an effect, switch the setting to 1:2 or 1:1 respectively.

thank you thank you for your advice..

are you the developer of DCS-BIOS?

you are an input output god...

Thanks!

Yes, I am the creator of DCS-BIOS. Not a god as far as I know, just someone with too much time on his hands (or way too little, considering the lack of progress on DCS-BIOS in the last months).
