Rotary potentiometers, switches, and encoders all share a basic design: adjustment is done via a shaft onto which a knob is attached, and knobs are sold separately. That doesn’t mean one knob fits all ...

A line of knobs for encoders and switches features bell- and top-hat-shaped 16-mm parts. Available in soft-touch or hard plastic designs, the knobs accept standard D-shaped 6-mm shafts. Blue or white ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new AS5601 contactless rotary position sensor from ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, gives designers an ...

In a nutshell: Canadian hardware maker Ploopy is now accepting pre-orders for its latest input device. The Ploopy Knob is a 3D-printed, open-source rotary encoder featuring a high-precision sensor ...

I feel like an old fool (but where are we going to find one at this time of the day?). The reason for my discomfiture is that I only recently became aware of the proliferation of rotary encoders. In ...

Integrating touchscreen and rotary-knob control into a single IC simplifies combining these two different but complementary user-input devices. Touchscreens and touchpads haven’t totally taken over ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...
