Rotary Encoders et al.

Head scratcher here. Building my second Sim panel so I have already gone through the basics. On this second panel I'm simply going a bit further by adding hardware elements like switches, lights, etc. Hooking everything to an Arduino Mega. None of my steam gauge rotary encoders work. I've verified g...

Mac and sidecar

I have a 2019 Macbook Pro. It has a built-in feature to wirelessly detect a secondary monitor (in my case a 2022 iPad Pro I borrowed). Sidecar is the Mac app I see online on the Apple support sites as well as youtube as the software title to use for this secondary screen capability, but my machine d...

Re: Touch screen in Mac environment for GNS

So I'm assuming then I need to run the Sim (XP) and AirManager off the same Windows box to get the glass devices to work (in the green box) the way I'm envisioning this? Attaching the iPad via spacedesk or something to the Sim/AM PC? I suppose the red box could be a second instance of AirManager or ...

Touch screen in Mac environment for GNS

I'm trying to understand if I can get any of the overlay instruments into a MAC environment. I'm running X-Plane on the Mac, with Air Manager on an old Win 10 PC. My switches/rotary encoders and such on an Arduino Mega USB connected to my Win 10 AirManager PC. Cool. All works just grand. My instrume...

Re: Create Layout From in 4.1

I should have spent more time looking -- create from is on the panel level, not the instrument level.

Create Layout From in 4.1

In create/edit pane... I created a panel & plane and am trying to import instruments from the home page as set by the graphical interface. I don't see the create from option.... I'd like to create an export to get this backed up and transferred over to my sim computer but has something changed s...

Projection Gauges?

Anyone tried / successful at using a projector to shoot the Air Manager panel onto some substrate from *behind* the instrument panel for the gauges, rather than using a monitor? Other than multiple monitors, licenses, code, hookups needed to allow me to pass the yoke through the proper position of t...

Re: Associate Rotary Encoder with Panel gauge

OK. More money money money.

Just thought I could get by for this development phase...

Thank you so much.

I downloaded the plugins and it seems to work with XPlane Demo.

Associate Rotary Encoder with Panel gauge

OK, I'm new at this and clearly missing something. Background: AirManager running on PC. Arduino Nano flashed and connected via USB to said PC. Do NOT have a FS running on the network yet. 1) I've added and Altimeter instrument to the default panel. 2) Added a Generic Altimeter dial hardware instrum...

Re: Can't Flash Nano Clone

Thanks JPH. I had to select 3 before one would work on the Uno. Tried the same on the Namo and it worked fine.
