  19. Encoder + small Knobs - Found! And they are DAMN good!

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    I am about to buy these very soon... did you have a lot of trouble soldering them by hand? I am not even sure what is wave soldering...

    So regarding the size, if I am to have 16 encoders in 4 rows, what would be the minimum size panel space they would occupy in your opinion? I am trying to figure out if I will be able to have them on a commodore 64 but I did not receive the one I won on Ebay... 10.50 + 10 postage, sweet...

    Thanx!

    Thanks for replying!

    Well, I am not sure if I really need DOUTS as I am not going to have leds... just solid close-your-eyes-and-twist-the-knobs controller.

    And I am trying to keep the number of components down because of the enclosure. I do not want to have to squeeze them all in.

    It would be good to know if those 8 knobs + 64 encoders are available on 1 core...

    Thank you very much for your reply. Like I said I need all the help I can get alongside all the reading...

    You also wrote about 4 x DOUTx4. What do want to do with them. Or. What are you going to control with your midibox?

    Maybe thats the mistake. I want to build a controller that will be as universal as possible to use both with my Reaktor ensambles (I am a Reaktor builder BTW) and some Ableton FX.

    If J5 is not on yet, I will have to reconsider amount of encoders and buttons... perhaps I could have 16 buttons and 56 encoders?

    Dear Midiboxers,

    After months of research, I am getting ready to start building my first midibox.I do not have much experience with building elecronix so please bear with me, yes, I am a beguinner.  ??? ::)

    I want to have it inside Commodore 64, I think I will start with drilling my own top panel that should not be that difficult as my design is quite straightforward.

    I am planning to have a controller with 64 encoders and 8 buttons.

    So I believe I need:

    1 x core

    4 x DINX4

    4 x DOUTX4

    1 x LCD

    1 x USB GM5 Module

    64 encoders

    8 buttons

    I have a few questions I am hoping to get answer to:

    1/ Is my list correct and did I miss anything?

    2/ C64 uses 5V DC and 9V AC power supplies, can I use those?

    3/ I will need to source really small encoders to fit 64 onto the panel of C64, does anyone know of a good source to get small encoders?

    4/ Do you think I will manage to fit all this into 404 x 216 x 75?

    Thank you
