General
The purpose of this unit is to simulate the VOR/LOC receivers like:
Features
| No | Type | Item | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2x | input | Rotary Encoders with push button | Frequency and OBS |
| 1x | input | Pushbutton | Switch |
| 4x | output | 3 Digit 7-segment display | Active and Standby frequency |
Functional description
Left two 3 Digit 7-segment display are used for showing active frequency and right two for standby frequency. The frequency is shown in MMM.KK format (three digits for MHz section and two digits for kHz section). This makes two unused digits.
Right rotary changes stand by frequency, clicking changes between MHz and kHz sections.
Left rotary changes OBS setting and momentarily shows OBS value instead of standy frequency. Clicking left rotary toggles between OBS and stand by frequency display. After timeout (2s) standby frequency is shown again (or maybe not??). If rotating right rotary while OBS value displayed, show standby frequency instead.
Or maybe the left rotary press toggles between OBS and heading bug setting mode? After 2s of inactivity, the unit goes back to OBS mode. The issue here is that we don't have an indication of current mode. Maybe the idea of showing OBS/BUG value on display is not that bad after all.
Right rotary long press turns unit on/off.
