Component Recomendation

Recommended Posts

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.

 

Thanks

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.

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.

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

CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
