Rotary Encoders stopped working

[ecdcrew]

This is before the 11am MSFS update, on my cesnna audrino mega panel, only 2 of 7 Roatary encoders work.

I tested them using Lua directly in AM, and they work, so the problem may be simconnect/msfs...

Any advice?

I already cleared cache, persistence, rebooted, flashed over....

Make sure that you are using the latest plugin. It can also be a network issue.

[ecdcrew]

I am, latest plug-in and latest version

[Ralph]

Did you check software dials, like an altimeter?

[ecdcrew]

After a few hours of.... I want to say debuging, but more like bludgeoned investigation, the error is hw_dial_add("item", x, function)

The x is causing a legacy code issue...

I leave it to you. Without the x integer, no issues. Has to be a legacy to new code matter.

I could be wrong

Default Cessna panel... 9 encoders.

[Ralph]

X can be various things. This is the API for the rotary encoder: http://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.ph ... w_dial_add

[ecdcrew]

Yes, I read the API 1000 times. Humbly I say that noting brought the 9 encoders back to life other than completely disregarding the optional variables.

I think somehow when many rotary encoders are present, the Lua script fails. (That is a panel full of encoders)


Community Panel Cessna Instruments, non modified Lua Script:
One or two fine. 7 fail.


Community Panel Cessna Instruments, with modified Lua
Remove the optional API variable, present at all hw_dial_add.... all 9 work.

Hi,

Post your instrument here so that members can have a look give some help.

I'm not sure if you're talking about script in the instruments that come with Air Manager or your own script.

Ralph,

Correct it is very unclear, The OP needs to give us the code else we are looking for UFO's in the Kimberly hole.
