Taika-Kim Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) The encoder does not play nicely... Sometimes it works nearly fine, sometimes it just does not do anything, or jumps randomly around. So it seems the encoder is a 24 steps rotary encoder, should any brand work, if I'll change it? One local shop has 20 step pulse-encoders, does this sound close enough? I guess it would just work a little slower? Sorry I'm one of those evil second hand users, who bough an unit somebody else made, and my electronics skills are quite weak.

monads Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Seems kinda strange. So are you saying some sessions it's 100% fine and others not? Or does it work fine, then during a session go all wacko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 You might want to check the soldering before getting a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaytee Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 IIRC, there's also an acceleration curve that has caused some users to think their encoder was busted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johey Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 The encoder is discussed in It may or may not be the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taika-Kim Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Sometimes it works better, most of the time barely at all. And, please, I know my inertia when I see it, this is just plain random behaviour. Good idea about the soldering, maybe the uni took a hit in the mail.

praxis23 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I had the same problem and in my case it was the firmware that was too old I did the update V2_043 and it works great, I hope it will help you solve your problem.

Taika-Kim Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) OK, I was using 2_040 before, and finally now have some time, I quit my job and moved to the countryside to a small cabin :D So today I finally plugged everything in again and took a look at this. I just uploaded 043 and it seems that the encoder works fine, no inertia though, it always scans at a predefined speed. But better than jumping around :smile: Great, I'm off to write some tracks!
