Elphaba Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi I've looked in the 'real' bindings and unless I'm either blind or senile I can't find bindings so I can bind my 'potentiometers' on my button box, to change the ADF compass rose, or the 'heading' bug compass rose. Is this an omission that can be rectified? Is it possible to add these ourselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Vorkosigan Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Those controls are not axis (for use with Potentiometers) they are incremental rotational. They have no stop like an axis would. For those inputs rotary encoders would be best. You can wire them up pretty easily depending on your interface board. You would need two button inputs per encoder. Here is an example http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_75&products_id=191 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elphaba Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've visited that site before; great stuff and local to me too. However I'm still not finding the bindable settings that I can tap into (my original question). Are they actually there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Vorkosigan Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Your question was "Where do I bind my potentiometers" (paraphrasing). You cannot for those inputs. ;) But where would you bind encoders? In control options look for AN/ARN-6 Radio Compass section. At the bottom you wil find AN/ARN-6 Tuning Crank - CCW/Decrease Frequency and CW/Increase Frequency. Under Instrument Panel they inputs you want are AN/ARN-6 East/West Variation Knob - CCW/East and CW/West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into making a button box of my own then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
