Yes - a dedicated Arduino encoder for the G5.

I will then use the existing Knobster for the left knob of the G500 using KnobXP. I currently control the right knob of the G500 with another encoder using Arduino.

Yep, something like the PropWash encoder kit combined with a Teensy USB board and packaged in a manner similar to the Knobster. My other encoders use a Teensy USB board and are programmed via Arduino. I have done some programming mods through Arduino and am confident I could program the new one. But...

OK - next thought regarding your idea. Can you recommend where to purchase a pre-made single encoder knob with push button that I can use as a standalone encoder for the G5 knob?

Ok - considering your option. My understanding is that the bezel overlay would work through Air Manager and its use of Knobster via yellow dot method. My first question is could I develop an overlay of just the bottom left knob on the G500 pop-up to use with AM/Knobster? I ask because the Knobster i...

That sequencing makes sense and I will keep that in mind.

Thanks for the advice. The reason this is important to my is that I'm gearing up for my instrument check ride in July and the C172 I will be flying uses the G500 for the primary flight instrument and the G5 as the backup. I will have to make two approaches using the G500 and one approach using the G...

I found the SI commands for the G5 at https://siminnovations.com/si/command/ and thought those would work. I guess not. So back to the original question - can I have one Knobster that controls instruments through KnobXP and another Knobster that controls Air Manager instruments through the Yellow Do...

Russ or Ralph - can you provide necessary guidance to get KnobXP to work the the SI G5?

Programming the Modes seems so much easier. Here is my mode setup for the G5, but it does not work for some reason: { "name": "SI Garmin G5", "minor_cw_cmd": "si/g5/1/knob_cw", "minor_ccw_cmd": "si/g5/1/knob_ccw", "major_cw_cmd": ...

If a single Knobster cannot perform the dual functionality, then I would prefer going the KnobXP route for both rather than designing a G500 AM overlay. I just would need to figure out the Mode coding for the G5 rotary knob/button.
