how to wire it up?

Hello Kermit !
I also plan to connect a rotary to my Leo Bodnar card, to make a starter switch for my Cessna.
Did you use FSUIPC to assign the rotary ?

Hello,

i was able to remove the stoper from the inside of my 12 position switch - i also shortened the spring. Now, my question is, which contacts have to be connected where on the bu0836x to get the switch working as a rotary encoder. I have 12 pins on the outer ring, numbered 1 to 12, and 3 pins on the inner ring labeled as A,B,C. I also red the PDF file from Ian - but there the used switch is different (only one GND pin in the center of the switch).

I just got the BU card and made a small wooden board, installed some push switches, on /off, on/off/on, and potentiometer on it to test how the switches are working. The encoder seems to be the hardest of them in terms of connecting to a BU0836X card.

Any help is highly appreciated.
