What does it do?

So after reading the blurb from above, you say, huh? That is ok. Here is what the card does. Let’s say you want to control the radios in your cockpit. One way you could do it would be to install a couple of buttons and use a button press for tune up and another for tune down. Works, but not realistic. With the Quad card you can use a rotary encoder (included) and tune the radio just like a real one. The card turns an encoder input, left, right, into 2 separate switch outputs, one for left and one for right. So, you wire the switch output into whatever input interface you are using for switches. Card comes completely assembled. Solder the encoders to the included cables and you are ready to setup your switches in FSUIPC or whatever software you are using for your switches

Technical Data

 

Power:

12VDC Unregulated power can be supplied to the QRC without regard to polarity. An on-board regulator circuit ensures that reverse-polarity situations and non-regulated supplies do not damage the internal circuitry of the QRC.

NOTE: Input power MUST be between 9VDC and 24VDC!

Encoders:

The QRC has been tested with a variety of 2-phase mechanical encoders, yet does come with its own set of 4, if ordered as such. The QRC has also been tested with the 61C line of Grayhill optical encoders.

Ground and 5VDC are available via the 16-conductor ribbon cable to drive an optical encoder. Encoders requiring anything other than 5VDC must be driven via a separate power source
