I tried to look for the answer but cannot find it.
I’m using the beta air manager with FS2020 and if I click on the heading knob and then turn my knobster it moves the heading bug 10 degrees per click. Both the inner and outer knob do this. Is there a way to correct this?
Knobster 10 degrees per click
Re: Knobster 10 degrees per click
That's an old FSX bug which is still in there. In FSX it helped to rotate in both directions a few times.
I'm not gonna start with how I feel about FS2020

Check if you don't have any controller connected with bindings done directly in MFS2020, with dual or multi position always on switches. Example: Honeycomb Alpha yoke This bug is well documented on flight simulator forums. Use FSUIPC instead of assigning switches directly on MFS2020.
Re: Knobster 10 degrees per click
Oh you're right, I've heard about that one too. Different bug. One of the many...
Yesterday I was on radial -2 And the approach mode with the GPS made me rocket with -1000fpm into the approach lighting.

I do have an Alpha yoke. What is FSUIPC? If I use that can I get the knobster to work correctly with FS2020?Steku wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 10:14 pm Check if you don't have any controller connected with bindings done directly in MFS2020, with dual or multi position always on switches.

Re: Knobster 10 degrees per click
From what I can work out if you have a hardware input that triggers and stays stuck high then this problem can arise. I saw it recently and determined that it was my knobster. I did a little digging and wonder if it might be caused by a floating input that might be due to Knobster not having off-nano hardware pull down resistors. I think the Nano supports the internal pulldown function but have not looked at an airmanager sketch to see if it is used.
Re: Knobster 10 degrees per click
If it’s with FS2020 then this is a known bug and nothing to do with knobster.

Re: Knobster 10 degrees per click
If you think it's the Knobsters then you can easily test it with an instrument in the Create/Edit tab that does a print on each direction change.
Re: Knobster 10 degrees per click
Hi, although as pointed out it would appear to be another issue - just a note with reference to the Knobster. I think you may mean pull-up, not pull-down resistors. If it is a commercial knobster, then that is not an issue. if it is home made, then you should ALWAYS have pull up resistors on the A B outputs. - directly at the encoders. I am unsure if the internal weak pull ups are used on the nano ports, but even if they were, you really should always use external ones.jplewis02 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 10:02 pm From what I can work out if you have a hardware input that triggers and stays stuck high then this problem can arise.

As for a knobster sketch for the nano, there isn't one, which is a shame, but I understand why due to IP and trouble shooting. - I would be even deliriously happy to know what the protocol / data and in what format AM requires this for a knobster to be recognised and used, then I could write my own sketch as I would like to use the a Pro Micro 32U4 arduino... but hey
