Hello,
one question again.
The frequency is displayed very well (active and standby) but I would like to install a rotary encoder to set the frequency.
I've not found any Rotary Encoder for the frequency in the Hardware Instrument-Panel.

Have a nice weekend!

Here is my SIFF file I used on the Zibo 737-800. I have 9 Max 7219 displays. 2 are daisy-chained at a time. Also put a 100uf capacitor between each 5V+ and ground leads. External 5V power supply to each Max7219, not daisy-chained..
Built a box without any special tools. Placed an Arduino Mega2560 inside. Just a usb connection and done. You can change the brightness in the LUA. Max7219's not as bright as photo shows.
Hope this helps.
