kam Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hello everyone, as a newbie to electronics I'd like a sanity check before going and soldering things. Current plan is to solder everything circled in the image, looks correct? Project will be for 3x ELMA E37 connected to Leo Bodnar breakout board, which is connected to BU0836A. Encoders will be used for the GPS, selecting radio frequency, heading dial/autopilot stuff etc. First mistake happened already, thought the encoder had 5 pins but it's 6. So more cables are needed :doh: Get the soldering done, then work out where all the wires go..

Raisuli Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 2 encoders, one button, and common. Looks reasonable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 So I got everything soldered, with one encoder working perfectly and it's great! But need a couple more of the riser block circled in yellow. Does anyone know the technical name for them? or where to get some? Can't see them for sale on the Leo Bodnar website but I emailed them.

Raisuli Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Thank you! If you crimped them into dupont connectors it would be a little neater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Version 1 will get stuffed in a box and left as long as it works :) Intel 5820k | Asus X-99A | Crucial 16GB | Powercolor Devil RX580 8GB | Win 10 x64 | Oculus Rift | https://gallery.ksotov.co.uk Patiently waiting for: DCS: Panavia Tornado, DCS: SA-2 Guideline, DCS: SA-3 Goa, DCS: S-300 Grumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for a few bits to wire all 3 up before doing that Intel 5820k | Asus X-99A | Crucial 16GB | Powercolor Devil RX580 8GB | Win 10 x64 | Oculus Rift | https://gallery.ksotov.co.uk Patiently waiting for: DCS: Panavia Tornado, DCS: SA-2 Guideline, DCS: SA-3 Goa, DCS: S-300 Grumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
