JCook Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm looking for an rotary or encoder - not sure that it is called - can anyone recommend a brand/model? As an example : The mode selector on the EW panel for selecting between OFF-STBY-MAN-SEMI and AUTO. Need something with adjustable stops for various position selections.

metalnwood Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) You are after a rotary switch, which works differently from an encoder. so dont get a rotary encoder. They come in different number of stops and you can usually adjust a little pin to limit its movement. They also come in different numbers of degrees of rotation per stop. I think that one is probably 30 degrees. http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/switches/rotary/1114210?k=switch Edited July 23, 2012 by metalnwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketeer Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Like metalnwood said, you are describing a rotary switch. And the one needed for that panel is either a 30 or 36 deg switch. I've shown in my thread how to adjust the number of stops. In the states I can get the 30 or 45 degrees ones in fry's. Online I buy from digikey or mouser or Newark. Not sure in Europe. Most rotary switches required in the A10C are 45 deg switches. 2 or 3 of the required roatary switches are 30 deg ones.

Deadman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Or you can check my build thread for pretty much a complete listing of the switches in the cockpit . Unfortunately that rotary is one I don't have listed https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
