I'm sorry i don't quite understand how this is done? This is for the Display II card right? Do you have some photos to help me understand better?Thanks

My Ped is allready closed up, but i will check on my hardrive to see if i have any pictures. In the galery of opencockpits you can find pictures of what i mean. when i find the pictures i will post them.

If you dont want to use rotary encoders you can covert a rotary switch to act as an encoder with the mastercard. Cheap, but the feel is not quite the same. Better wait for the encoders Opencockpits will offer.

Hey Stef can you use a VISA instead of a MASTERCARD LOL jjking

I'll try and explain what i can make out of it.

I'll need a 16 row flat cable and two 2by8 connector.

I'll make a cable which looks like

2x8 connector -> 16 row flat cable -> 2x8 connector.

I'll need to fold the cable in half to solder the connector on right?

Connect one end to the 8 pins on the Display II card.

Thats about all i get. I don't understand the daisy chain part. Are u using the opencockpits pcb for mounting the 7-segments displays?

Do i connect it to the pcb with the 2x8 connector?

Makes a perfect tidy solution. Its a 16 line flatcable, and a 2*8 connector.
