Rotary encoder

I have not found anyone saying that rotary encoders work with Assetto corsa yet. I am looking towards using them for brake bias,abs,tcs and turbo pressure.So I am wondering if anyone is using them.

 

As below.

Edit: My waffle was waffle. I was trying to say you can use anything to transfer data as long as you have the software/hardware to take the data and use it for your needs. Schnipp, explained it much better than I did.

 

I think you're speaking of different things.

A rotary encoder can be used instead of two switches, like brake bias +/- you can turn the encoder left/right, same with turbo pressure, MGU-K settings, etc.

But for that you need extra hardware that interprets the signals of the decoder and then sends those signals to the PC. There are boards for that out there with a USB-connectors to the pc that are based on little platforms like arduino.
I don't know if AC can take those inputs directly or if a joy-to-key software like xpadder or antimicro is necessary.

On cheap way could be to get a cheap USB-gamepad, open it an take the PCB and use the connectors for your own buttons or rotary encoders. This way it would be plug-and-play at least for the software.

I've used the rotaries on the T500 F1 rim to control both the MGU-K in the SF15-T and TCS/ABS in GT cars. You can map them in-game but I use different xpadder profiles for each which makes it much easier to switch between the two. Works fine, my only complaint is that there's no way to prevent AC from stopping at the min/max instead of cycling.

Turbo pressure is a bit different, for that you'll definitely need profiling software so each turn of the rotary returns a different key press.

 

Ah! the dawn of understanding has made shadows of my ignorance. The rotary knobs on a wheel! D'uh! I better get back to tree hugging.
