Nat Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 *********EDIT : 25/07/03 We're currently at around 235 orders, I ordered yesterday so I should receive the encoders in about 2-3 weeks. Regular shipping costs between 5$ and 17$ and can be insuredFinal price for encoders should be around 2.46$ canadian which makes ~1.72$US or ~1.49EurosSpec sheet : http://www.studioimaginaire.com/files/zautre/STEC16B.pdf*********This could be interesting for those who wants Undetented encoders.  Little explanation : Undetented encoders do not have "dents" meaning that when you turn them it feels like a regular pot.  With detented encoders you feel a click (usually 24).  The Midibox16E requires undetented encoders, Other midiboxes can use both type.I can get some STEC16B03 24 res ALPS encoders for around 1.7$US each, which is pretty cheap.  Only problem, there is a minimum order of 250, so I will need to know if people want some and how many.  If enough people wants some and I reach 250 or more, I can make it ship at my home (Montreal) and ship it to you.  So if you're interested, please post the number of encoders you would like.Thanks,Nat Quote
NorthernLightX Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Hi!I need 16, but 20 is okay. Only probem is that i'm from Holland, so the shipping could become quite high. If you can give me a quote on the shipping (insured please...) i'll let you know if i'm in asap.Rgds, Alex. Quote
Nat Posted July 19, 2003 Author Report Posted July 19, 2003 I will need you postal code to calculate shipping, you can post me a private messageNat Quote
Steven_C Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 That is an amazing price for a good quality alps encoder!! I have 2 of them, and they feel like a real pot!But I got 16 from Ian, which I am happy with! Quote
Guest Kr8R Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Thats too good a price to let go by Nat - if i can order 8 of you that will be great :)my postcode in Australia is 7001 state of Tasmaniathnx Kr8R Quote
Nat Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Posted July 21, 2003 Thanks Kr8R, I added you to the list, shipping should be around 10$ for regular post.I hope we'll reach the goal of 250 soon, we're currently at 68 which isn't that bad after 2 days. Quote
Guest jesaiplu Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Nat, could you add me in the list please.I don't know how much I need for this moment ...When you hope buy it please ?I say you in the french forum for how much I need (30 minimum I think ... )Could you have a detented encodeur ? because I didn't find it in france ...Thx ;) Quote
Steven_C Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Hey jesaiplu, if you can't get detented encoders anywhere else, talk to Ian, he may be able to help you. Quote
Guest Xcen Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 I'll take 8-16 of them.. not sure yet Quote
Nat Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Posted July 21, 2003 Hello jesaisplu, if you want strictly detented encoders I suggest you talk to Ian Hurlock.If you still want undetented encoders from me, it might take some time since the minimum order is 250. It depends on how much people want some...In between, I just talked to a guy from Acess and they use the same encoders on the Access Virus C rack :) Quote
Guest jesaiplu Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Hey jesaiplu, Â if you can't get detented encoders anywhere else, talk to Ian, he may be able to help you.Ok, thank's ;)I need 2-3 detented for a joggle and 30 undetented so if Nat could be have some it's more simple if he could join it with the detented (Sorry for my bad english ...)

Nat Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Posted July 21, 2003 Unfortunatelty I cannot get detented ones since I'd have to order another 250 of them... For the jog wheel, isn't the encoder low shaftless ? Quote
Guest Kr8R Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 i'll readjust my order Nat - make it 16 looking forward to this :)Kr8R Quote

Nat Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Posted July 21, 2003 Jesaisplus : see private message in french Quote
pay_c Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 OK, I´ll get in there with 16 for the SID (and one to jump on if something does not function).Postal Code and so on per PM, can you tell me how much the shipping costs will be? Quote
Guest jesaiplu Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 This encodeur work with a MB based on 18f452 pic ? Quote
bugfight Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 i'd like to get in for 20 on this, if possible.i am in dallas, tx usa (zip 75081) Quote
Nat Posted July 22, 2003 Author Report Posted July 22, 2003 jimp : noted. Shipping should be under 10$. Once I get enough confirmations, I will buy the encoders and check with each person for shipping modalities. It shouldn't be more than 12-13US$ for most of the world, usually between 4 and 9 $.jesaisplus : Undetented encoders will work with both the PIC16F877 and the PIC18F452.... It will work with MIOS and with the midibox16e firmware. There is also a wiring scheme on the midibox16e page made specialy for this particular model. Quote
Steven_C Posted July 23, 2003 Report Posted July 23, 2003 Hey Nat, thanks for organising this! I am interested in either 16 or 32 encoders, but I still haven't worked out how many I really need yet. thanks, from Steve Quote
Guest domas Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 :o I am impressed that you buy so much encoder for a such high price. I bought 25 same rotary encoders for 25x4=100 Lt(it's our currency) that is about 1,31 USD or 1,15 EUR(compared to ~1.72$US or ~1.49Euros from Nat) for one piece. I didn't have to pay for shipping as I ordered them at a local shop that ordered from ELFA(Sweden) or ASWO(Germany). But that is not all. When I ordered them I thought I'll get them for 0,87 USD or 0,77 EUR. But when they arrived I found out that I have to pay 1,5 price I knew before. So now I have 25 undetended ALPS rotary encoders ;). Quote
Nat Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Posted July 24, 2003 Well, lucky you, but it's not easy to get some in most parts of the world... Quote
Nat Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Posted July 24, 2003 Also, it is quite surprising you were able to get some because those encoders are made oversea (in malaysia) and companies who order some from ALPS have to order a minimum of 1200. Quote
pay_c Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 @domas: So, why dont you get them for us? ;D Quote
