Gladman Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just a shot in the dark. Does anybody have a line on a company selling the 5 position rotary jettison stores switch with push button (Hornet specific)? I can find rotary switches everywhere and have a working one but to get one with a button seems to be quite the task. i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSSTT Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Gladman, I gave up looking for the perfect one a while ago... this is the one I got and it works great, you will need 2 resistors and its a little pricey.. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Grayhill/62S45-M5-P?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsWp46O%252Bq11WX9topLpsItZ7C8t4nOMbp4%3D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladman Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ouch!!! Ah I'll probably do it anyway. Who am I kidding. thanks very much for the link i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Uh, hang on, I think I saw a cheap alternative somewhere on this board... This guy made such a switch from a regular rotary, a plastic bottle cap, and a regular momentary button. The momentary push button was hot glued into the bottle cap with a red plastic button surface. Then that assembly seemed to be glued or mounted onto the rotary button. Ingenious and dirt cheap! I'll try to find it for you if I can... Edit: I'm referring to a stores jettison like those found on Hornets and such Edited April 24, 2019 by Rick50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Maybe try to find a source for "12mm switch rotary encoder with key switch L3I5" These seem to be quite inexpensive, like around $6 for 12 such encoders. Unfortunately it was an ebay Australian and they don't ship to Alberta!

NightShiftNinja Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Gladman you may not be able to find an exact 5 position one, but push button rotary encoders can be found easily and pretty cheap, https://www.mpja.com/mobile/Rotary-Encoder-with-Pushbutton-Switch/productinfo/30403%20SW/ Here's one for $2 didnt look too deep into how many positions it has or how much rotation each step would be Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
