latigid on Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I'm considering a bulk order of encoders from Top-up. I think I can do a much better price than the ~$5 most shops seem to charge! They have a common anode RGB LED inside and a switch with 5mm travel. I think the 16 mm D-shaft with 24 detent/24 pulse would be best. They would probably work very well with the "Waldorf" clear knobs.http://www.top-up.com.tw/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=EC12PLRGBSDVBF-D&Category=337107 If you're interested, please reply below with quantities desired.

jojjelito Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'd take 10 if there's a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatline Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 does it work?depends on price,16 up to 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) does it work?depends on price,16 up to 64 The clear Waldorf? Not sure! Apparently they are exactly the same as Sparkfun's version. Bourns also make one which I have. EDIT: looking again these are T18 spline shaft, not what we want! Here are the Bourns pots (not encoders) which I imagine would be fairly similar.http://midibox.org/forums/topic/17669-awesome-parts-for-midibox/ Edited September 7, 2015 by latigid on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Pricing might be about $3 each if I ordered 1000... not sure if that's different enough from Sparkfun's price of $3.5-$4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technobreath Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I might be interested, but gonna wait it out a bit longer (yeah usefull answer :P) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 If you need, I suggest ordering from Sparkfun et al. Instead I'm working on a different concept using hollow shaft encoders and WS2812 LEDs arranged on a PCB. This should be more flexible in terms of multicolour possibilities, also the PCB routing is much easier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemensEy Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi @ all, What kind of hollow shaft encoder are you planning to use? And where do you get the clear shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
