Woo hoo,! Mine is up and running. Here it is being driven from the Futaba FP-T4FN I just converted. Used the DIYmore Pro Mini Strong board and the display from Amazon I linked above. I found adjusting the centers beyond about 1425us gave me a poor balance between the ends, but 1425 balanced both directions pretty well.

Thanks Martin and Phil!

P.s. please excuse the messy background on the pics!

Well that was weird. I used it to set up a Futaba FP-T4FN and was diagnosing a problem while converting a FP-T7FG when the display died. Took me a little while to figure out the 5V regulator died on the Pro Mini Strong board! Glad that wasn't running as an encoder in a transmitter.grabbed another board, uploaded the sketch and all is well.
