Hi guy's, can enyone help me out on this one.
I got 14 buttons on my wheel, 5 x 12 pos. rotary switches and 2 rotary encoders and 2 potentiometers.
On the wiring diagram of the SLI PRO you can connect 6 rotarys, in my case i got 7.
My question: can i use a wire from the left over buttons to connect my 7th rotary??
Regards, Heinz.
You are using the Term Rotary wrong. You have 5 12 Position
Rotary Switches and 2
Rotary Encoders
Rotary Switches are specialty items, and the Sli Pro can only handle 6 of those indeed. However
Rotary Encoders are something completly different. Rotary Encoders basicly work like 2 buttons. Turning left is button 1, Turning right is button 2 etc. So you can hook up Encoders like you would hook up a pair of buttons. So next to 6
Rotary Switches you can atleast hook up 8 more
Rotary Encoders
pretty important to know how these differ from each other, especially when wiring them up. The Rotary Switches can only be hooked up on certain positions!
However, since you already have 14 buttons (daaaamn thats alot!)
you should wire them up like this to make it work:
Connector 1:
1 Brown: 5V Potentiometer and Rotary Switches
2 Red: Ground Shared between all buttons/switches/potentiometers
3 Orange: Button 1
4 Yellow: Button 2
5 Green: Button 3
6 Blue: Button 4
7 Violet: Button 5
8 Grey: Button 6
9 White: Button 7
10 Black: Button 8
11 Brown: Rotary Switch 1
12 Red: Rotary Switch 2
13 Orange: Rotary Switch 3
14 Yellow: Potentiometer 1
Connector 2
1 Brown: 5V Potentiometer and Rotary Switches
2 Red: Ground Shared between all buttons/switches/potentiometers
3 Orange: Button 9
4 Yellow: Button 10
5 Green: Button 11
6 Blue: Rotary Switch 4
7 Violet: Button 12
8 Grey: Rotary Switch 5
9 White: Button 13
10 Black: Potentiometer 2
11 Brown: Rotary Encoder 1 Button 1
12 Red: Rotary Encoder 1 Button 2
13 Orange: Rotary Encoder 2 Button 1 OR Button 14
14 Yellow: Rotary Encoder 2 Button 2 OR Button 14
So either you have to lose one of your buttons, or you will end up with a Rotary encoder which only works turning left or right.
need little soldering project though, but unfortunatly you mis 1 connection
ps, why are you looking in ini files for changing the buttons, why not just resolder them on the PCB?
