docdune Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi, just wondering if it would be difficult to incorparate the below mentioned part int omidibox LC. http://mayhewlabs.com/products/rotary-encoder-led-ring. warm rgs & thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 It can be done but would require some coding on your side. However, it's a rather expensive and mechanically not perfect approach. Lots of small boards, and the LEDs quite far away from the front panel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Martins Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I made the same question few months ago. Although I figure how to make my own LED ring PCB layout, never finished the layout on Eagle (Very lazy here because *finally* MIDI controllers are cheap in my place) Just thinking if we can design a similar board that fits in a MIDIBox project. Some sort of breakout board for LED Ring + Enconders (further run a bulkorder or maybe smashtv or mike can start to sell it in the similar fashion of sparkfun´s breakout boards), anyone up to?

tonedef Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Mayhewlabs is way too expensive, It'd be cheaper to buy a Behringer BCR2000 and rip out the encoders + rings from that (plus you'd get a bunch of other components you could use)... I would totally love a LED ring PCB. I'm about to wire a bunch of loose LED's into ~100 holes I've yet to drill. PITA. What I'm really interested in is LED ring + PWM interface, then you can use superbright LED's and use a single pot to adjust brightness on the fly. What I'm not sure about is using a ring with SMD LED's and how to mount that to a panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
