Heading and Course Encoders
-
I use an encoder for my heading and course knob. They work great when I have high frame rates but when Im doing a ramp start at a busy airport and there is a lot of traffic which means frames less than 50. The encoders do not work great anymore. I’ve tried various speeds for my encoders as well as adding in the set g_nKnobAccelerationDelta line. I’ve tried everything from the default 60 to 300 and higher. Still at lower frame rates these do not perform very well. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. -
How are you interfacing the encoders, are you using a separate circuit to decode the direction?

I use a PoKeys 57U for my encoders and switches, simply sending keystrokes with no FR effect at all…

Putting both tracks (A/B) into the computer and letting the computer decide the direction and count will begin to fail when CPU load is high or the input frequency is higher than the detection frequency (input scanning frequency)- and the scanning frequency will go down if your CPU load goes up.
How are your encoders connected to the PC?
