Thank you Rainier, I really appreciate it.

I did, just didn't use the whole "Digital Output Setup" name in the previous reply. I've tried the latest G4 simulator and the Autopilot engaged option is in there but not in the G3 firmware.

I have G3 with Version 1.1.2.8 installed but didn't see that option in the Digital Outputs section.

I've installed the latest firmware but didn't find the A/P option in the menu. Any chance to add it in the later revisions?

Thanks for the explanation Rainier. I have designed and made a custom Capstan (easier to install and adjust than the original) and even though I don't have the exact dimension of the original drum, I think mine is a bit bigger. But still, with the 170deg limit, the active travel of the pitch A/P ...

Sure - just remove the shear screw and rotate arm by 90 or 180 degrees - the boss has 4 positions for the screw.
Fix screw in place with blue loctite please. Also the boss itself can be rotated - there is a big grub screw on its side - again please ensure you use a drop of blue loctite here.
Use ...

Thanks Rainier, will do as you suggest - rotating 90 deg should do it. I didn't think of checking the servo position reading before attaching the capstan drum.

Is it possible to reset zero servo position? In my capstan servo pitch setting, the pitch down position is about 3500, when moving elevator up the servo numbers go 4095 to zero up to about 2500. But there is no plus or minus numbers. My numbers are as following - (down) 3500 - 4095 - 0 - 2500 (up).

I guess nobody knows about the "script file" so I have address the issue directly to Rainier - can you help me to found anything about how to write such a code or get any info that will help with that.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get one of the outputs from iBox's "Encoder/MISC Connector" to ground a small LED in my annunciator once autopilot is activated but cannot see any option for that. In the manual it states that -

"O1,O2,O3,O4 These four outputs are open collector darlington transistors ...
