Hey guys,
Currently in the process of bringing the materials together for my pedestal and it appears that Leo Bodnar no longer stocks or sells his interface boards. I am currently after an alternative card to use with rotary encoders to drive comm/nav panels etc. Ideally I want to control through the FSUIPC module as a key press to the PMDG737NGX. I had a look at the Desktop Aviator rotary encoder boards however people have reported problems with responsiveness and reliability of the turning of the encoders. As I see it my options are the Desktop Aviator 2090 (which people have reported problems with), coding SIOC through the open cockpits cards of which I have a basic understanding (writing to LEDs, Displays etc), acquiring a BU0836X which people are willing to sell or any other ideas which the community might have in interfacing encoders to the software.
I would greatly appreciate any input which the community might have.
Regards
