Hello,
i have a problem with the frequenzy selection of the KN 64 DME. I can only switch with the following sheme:
112,35
112,45
112,55
and so on... I can only switch uneven steps.
It is not possible for me to switch for example:
112,30
112,40
112,50
and so on...
Do you have a solution for that ? Maybe it is because I use a german FSX ?
Very best regards, Joerg

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
left click on the inner selection knob.
Anyway I think there is something wrong with the inner knob pulled out. It should be a 5 Khz step, but it's like 5-15-25-35 and so on.

No, the Inner Knob just increases/decreases the selected frequency by 50 KHz by pulling/pushing it.ardix wrote:Anyway I think there is something wrong with the inner knob pulled. It should be a 5 Khz step, but it's like 5-15-25-35 and so on.

So it's ok!
Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
Thank you for your answers.
I didn't notice that the inner knob was a push / pull one.
I only used my mouse scroll wheel, just as I did for the NAV radios.
Problem solved. Typical user error on my side.
Very best regards, Joerg

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
Great that you sorted it out !
Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
...interesting to read that the behavior of the KN62-knobs are not like the NAX/COM-buttons.
Now I'm trying to program my rotary encoder (with integrated push-button) for the KN62.
The goal is to tune the DME-freq by this encoder, not by mouse.
The only lvar I found are Kn62InnerKnob and KN62OuterKnob. Which commands could I use to increase/decrease the freq?

Amundsen,
There are a few more L:Vars for the KN64. They most important ones are listed in the PDF file downloadable from this post: cockpit builders - helpful control listings + cockpit view. The bottom one seems to be what you're after...

Cheers,KN64 DME unit:
On/off switch - L:kn62OnOff (bool)
Function switch - L:kn62Function (enum: 0 – Remote, 1 – Frequency, 2 – Groundspeed/Time to station)
DME outer knob - L:Kn62OuterKnob (percent: range: 0 – 100)
DME inner knob - L:Kn62InnerKnob (percent: range: 0 – 100)
DME inner knobPull - L:Kn62InnerKnobPull (bool)

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
ahhh.....many thanks!
I will play with these lvars later....
Only wondering about the "percent"-range 0-100:
108.00 Khz = 0%
117.95 Khz = 100%?

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
...hmmm...called the lvar KN62InnerKnob via FSUIPC-button:
P5,14,CM2:54,100
this starts the macro:
54=L:kn62InnerKnob=SET
But nothing happens...

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
What are you SET-ting it to? For a rotary encoder, I think you'd need to use "54=L:kn62InnerKnob=INC" and "55=L:kn62InnerKnob=DEC" instead (for clockwise and anticlockwise twists). I haven't used one, but I gather each 'notch' of the encoder rotation is seen by FSUIPC as a button press.

Didn't know that I can use the parameters INC and DEC.
Works perfectly, thank You so much again!
It was a bit tricky to switch the PULL/PUSH-position of the Kn62InnerKnob for .50Khz-changes with the same rotary encode, but with the button-flag-function of FSUIPC it is as real as it gets:-)

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
Glad to help. Do you have a link to the type of rotary encoder you're using just out of interest?
Cheers,

Of course - here You are:
http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php ... cts_id=242
There are rotaries with and without push button.
The shop also offers USB-interfaces. It is a great pleasure to fly the cherokee completely without mouse and keyboard!

Re: KN 64 DME Frequenzy selection
Thanks Amundsen - that's definitely something I'll look into in the future if I decide to 'up the ante' with my FS hardware.
