mikee Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 hi there everyone.I got a part which I am trying to identify, I wonder if anyone has some info:Rotary encoder with 8 connections. Two knobs: Outside knob is centered and spring biased rather like old synth pitch bend control.Inner knob is standard Rotary encoder action.The only markings on the thing is as follows: j (then what seems to be an i in a circle) 5M 14.No switch is fitted.Anyone got any ideas? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avogra Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 sounds like an encoder with turn-buttons to me. maybe with 2 way speed like on some video-recorders. where you can rewind, fast rewind (turning left) or forward, fast forward (turning right).that would make: encoder: 3 pins4 buttons: 4+1 pinsvoila! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 yeah thanks for that avogra .It seems that the control in question is from a broken Pro-DJ CD/karioki thing. (Soundlab G064E8).There are also a couple of sweet blue backlit LCD displays which seem to be intended for track position, pause, FF,REW, speed, etc etc. Pity about these not being a couple of lines of text.The controller chip also encodes up to 30 keys, and outputs data in serial form. What a shame so much technology is wasted.Thanks again for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
