Setting up encoders

[Braeden108]

So I'm trying to get an encoder going in DCS using MMJOY I bought these encoders:

 

EN11-HNM1AF15

 

They're incremental so they should do fine AFAIK. The encoders work electrically, but MMjoy and DCS aren't understanding what they are. I have the button that the encoders are wired to set under the encoders tab in MMjoy, Then in the button sets area I have those same buttons assigned to H/W buttons. I put a 10 ms timer on each button. Mode is set to "-------" same for shift, timer off is set to no.

But it doesn't seem to work. When I go to assign them in DCS I assign the encoder buttons to say heading bug increase decrease then I spin the kno. No dice.

 

Any ideas where I went wrong?

What do you want to achieve whit the rotary encoder?

 

As far as I can see these EN11-HNM1AF15 are quadrature (bi-phase) encoders with 20 PPR.

 

How have you connected it to arduino/atmega?

[Braeden108]

I forgot to mention the arduino. Yes I do. And the controller works for simple buttons and switches. I'd like these encoders to tune the radio and run the ABRIS int he Ka-50 or set the course. That kinda stuff.

Okay it's been a long time since I have done any of this stuff.

 

Assume you have connected the encoder as per this example.

 

And in HAL setup you select the up and down assignments as row/column selection??

 

Presumably the software provides an increment up/down which would drive the frequency selection??

Example of encoder use in Arduino+MMjoy2:

Good resource, thanks. :thumbup:

Thanks guys! I think the delay setting is where I was going wrong.
