arduino mega, dcs bios potentiometer on diypanel

[wct24]

i made a simple board with buttons, its the aux pannel of the f16.  I connected a potentiometer to the arduino and used the BORTcoding.  it works very good? Problem is when i put and rotaryswitch(made like a hornets nest) and connect it to the arduino suddenly 3 or 4 switches starting to turn and go on and of in dcs as i turn the pot.  Can anyone help me.  I put the pot for the hmcs on A0, the rotaryswitch for cmds prog on A2, the rotaryswitch for cmds mode on A4, connected the +of the pot and rotarys on 5 V and the - on the ground, near the 5v .

Am i doing something wrong?

Tryed to solve it but i got stuck.

I don't know if what you call a rotary switch is actually a rotary encoder. If so, you need special code for that. It is completely different from reading a potentiometer. Look here for info about reading a rotary encoder https://arduinogetstarted.com/tutorials/arduino-rotary-encoder

This is the link 

its a multi position switch

the code i use is the code from DCS-Skunkworks/Bort.

i supposed it was complete becaus the other codes work perfect

Sorry, I have no experience with this kind of switch. I hope someone else can help you.

If not, in a few weeks I can have a look at the specs and dive into the Bort code to see if I can find something.

Please post the code you're trying.

A video of what it's doing would be helpful too, or just a more detailed description than "suddenly 3 or 4 switches starting to turn and go on and of in dcs as i turn the pot".

They're basically a rotary switch with some components to make them behave like a low-resolution potentiometer.

Nice. Thanks!

i m on vacation now, but when i come back home i'll try to post a video and the code

thanks already for the reply
