[simpits-tech] Wiring of POT and EPL

[Martin Ingold]

Not quite... the sim stuff that uses synchros feeds them with DC voltage, which causes
the synchro to spit out a sin/cos (I think) signal.... The instruments and stuff I have
from Sims have lot's of synchros in, and not one of them needs 400Hz or makes that
current internaly.
