ilmenator Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hi all, I am looking for KICAD library files for the ALPS STEC16 and Bourns PEC11 rotary encoders usually used in MIDIbox projects. Has anyone ever used KICAD to build a board that had these encoders? Thanks, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever used KICAD to build a board that had these encoders? Thanks, ilmenator Here's my libraries. The PEC11 stuff is converted from the eagle library found in the midibox wiki. I haven't built a board with them, so I can't verify that they're good. :)Library.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Here's my libraries. The PEC11 stuff is converted from the eagle library found in the midibox wiki. I haven't built a board with them, so I can't verify that they're good. Thanks! I have created a new set of library files for the encoders in KICAD, also converted from EAGLE. I mainly changed the pin numbers, font size, and the line width so that they better match with the other KICAD libraries. I have not built a board with these either, which means using the lib is at your own risk :tongue: If someone has the time to create a KICAD parts library page in the WIKI, similar to what exists for EAGLE, feel free to upload this file as well!

findbuddha Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Did you ever use these? I was just checking over the footprint for the PEC11-Switched and it doesn't seem to match the data sheet very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 No, as the project they were intended for never happened :unsure: As far as I remember, I did not touch any dimension-related aspects of the component after the conversion, just naming convention of the pins. Anyways, the whole thing could be dead wrong or not even intended for PEC11, I don't remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findbuddha Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 No problem, just wanting to check I wasn't barking up the wrong tree. I'll post my updated libraries after I get my boards back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinzihogo Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi, I'd like to use the PEC11+SW. Can you verify the footprint(from encoder.zip, post#3) or do you have an updated library? Thanks, heinzihogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 No, unfortunstely not. You'll have to check yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findbuddha Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 heinzihogo, I have made a working PCB for the PEC11+SW with KiCAD. I can't remember exactly if I ended up changing the Ilmenator's footprint (I think I did). I've attached my library files for you to try. As always, I recommend you checking for yourself before spending money on PCB :) fb-kicad-library-21-09-2011.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
