goyousalukis Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hi, can anyone tell me if these encoders will work? The price is right if they do! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2547490807&category=26211I've searched for a spec sheet, but no luck.Thanks!

Nat Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 They seem to be normal encoders, you might want to ask the seller if he as some spec sheets.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2k Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 ;Dhttp://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/pdf/007_ev1113_evqb_dne.pdfThey look good...!! I think...:)* Just noticed they are only 15 pulse and are pcb mount - still a good deal eh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goyousalukis Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hey d2k - Thanks a lot for finding the spec sheet. I searched the panasonic website, but I couldn't find it. I went ahead and bought 64 of them for $20 us. I figure I can't lose.Since it is only 15 pulses, does that mean it takes more rotation to change the valuse from 0 to 127, or does that mean a lower resolution?Thanks againJustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 No, that just means that you have to make about 8 turnings to go from 0 to 127.But TK made some "fast" mode for Encoders (in the SID), which means that if you turn the encoder really fast, it is counting up 3 times faster (1,4,7,11...). Anyhow, you would still need about 2-3 rotations to go up to 127... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JobeC Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yet another encoder choise question.It seems that the production of the Alps EC16B24 (http://international1.farnell.com/Search/level_5.jhtml?PRODID=89285&SKUID=87224) encoders has ended. At least I was told so by Farnell. So, the question is now what to use instead? They offered to me EC11B15 (http://international1.farnell.com/Search/level_5.jhtml?PRODID=89283&SKUID=87222) which is twice the price (almost 10e each) and has some switch in it. Maybe some encoders by Bourns? http://international1.farnell.com/Search/level_5.jhtml?PRODID=4803&SKUID=2742 which is about the same price or http://international1.farnell.com/Search/level_5.jhtml?PRODID=62469&SKUID=60408 which looks like an el cheapo model? Or if someone knows a better option from Finland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Farnell is one of the most expensive distributors, maybe it's better to order the parts from a scandinavian shop - see also this article:http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=scandinavian;action=display;num=1048720464Some words to the resolution: it depends on the application which encoders are the best for you. In the meantime I prefer a reduced resolution for MIDIbox SID so that I'm able to change the values more precisely. The progressive mode (Speed Setting) still allows to sweep over the full range with a single turn.Pay_c: you possibly have to change the CS_MENU_ENC_SPEED_VALUE in main.asm for a higher acceleration on fast turns.Best Regards, Thorsten.

JobeC Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I got all the other parts already from a cheaper dealer, but the encoders seem to be somewhat rare to the local shops here. So, when needing just one encoder, there is no use in ordering them e.g. from Sweden. Luckily, I got one local dealer to order the encoder from RS Electronic when they order some other stuff from there. Hopefully it'll be ok. (Extending my one-SID -box to dual-SID with the minimal control surface.) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goyousalukis Posted August 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Ok, I got my encoders today, and I am just trying to get one to work on my test board. I only have one hooked up to one 74HC165. I do have all the 10k resistors on all the inputs. I am using the din_enc_v1 firmware from the test programs portion of the MBHP. When I turn the encoder, it registers the correct one - #1. The Inc Value is always $01 or $FF depending on the direction. I assume this is not correct behaviour? Two questions - do I have to wire anything different since I'm only using one IC? I do have the 10k on pin 10. Do I need to change any of the code since my encoders are detented? Thanks for any help..Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilo Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 inc value is 0x01 or 0xFF (1 or -1 ;) ), so I think it's correct! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
