Dual Concentric Encoder Source?

[Polmer]

Hello,

I am getting ready to start building my radios ( Nav, Comm, etc) and am looking to see if anybody has a source to purchase Dual concentric encoders, and the knobs that would fit them?

I currently have a encoder with a push button function and realize that I could get this to work as well, but I would like to use a Dual encoder, if possible.


Thanks for any advise,

Polmer

Hi Polmer,

You could try making your own by following these instructions:

Depends on your interface hardware whether it will work however.

Wow,

the dual concentric encoders are not cheap.......... $40 - 80 per encoder.
These of course are high quality optical type encoder, but are a little more than I am ready to spend on my already "Schizophrenic cockpit". I keep changing my mind on what I should build.....737, 767, or turbo prop ( ATR 72-500).


I think I will live with to gray type encoders for now or try to build one as Kennair has suggested .

Thanks guys.

I'm beginning to think GoFlight should put me on the payroll since I keep recomending them ! :rolleyes: They have Dual Rotorary Encoders for 29.95 each, prewired.

I got a set from simparts.de, they do the large and small covers for them too.
Happy hunting!
