Hi,

I've just been looking at FreeJoy and wondered whether you might be able to help me. I've started a freeware project AuthentiKit for flight simulation. See Authentikit.org. It is based on a Leo Bodnar BU0836A which isn't the cheapest I know but I'm trying to appeal to a much broader audience than those who can program or use complex config tools. I'm hitting the problem with trim wheels based on a 24 PPR encoder in that Microsoft Flight Simulator responds with only the smallest of trim adjustment with one click. I saw that freejoy has an encoder-to-axis simulation which seems to be a solution that Flight Velocity seems to have switched to. https://flightvelocity.com/products/flight-velocity-trim-wheel

I wonder if you would be willing to help our project with a simple Windows program that could take the pulses from a Bodnar and convert them to an axis somehow?

Thanks for considering this even if it isn't for you!

Phil
