m00dawg Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Hi MidiBoxers! I have noticed that EagleCAD has a rather small selection of encoders (at least that I have been able to find). The ones I was going to use were the ALPS EC12E (http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=EC12E) for my own custom MB-SID control surface. Unlike the ones used in the MB-6582, these seem to be a bit shorter and I was curious as to if anyone had any experience with these? Or if someone could point me to an EagleCAD layout for the buttons that are used for the MB-6582 (http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bourns/PEC16-4220F-N0024/?qs=6FD5PBp7ZtSGeyX4p%2fuIDg%3d%3d)? I would actually prefer those since I was hoping to use a similar design in the MB-6582 in terms of how far back the control boards site from the surface, etc. Makes finding parts easier (assuming I can get the layout in Eagle of course :) ). Update AHA! found them. Thanks wiki! :) Edited January 30, 2011 by m00dawg
m00dawg Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Actually, is the Bourns encoder Wilba recommends (PEC16-4220F-N0024, see [url=http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_6582_control_surface_parts_list}this) the same size as the ALPS STEC16 (the ones also used for the MB-6582)? I see that the Eagle library has a BOURNS PEC11 but the replacement Wilba recommends is a PEC16 - so I'm trying to figure out which package to use in Eagle? Thanks!
