Finally got around to putting my uBITX 4 together. I seem to not have received an encoder. Is this a common type? I have few laying around. But I don't know much about encoders in general. Any Advice?

Hi Doug,

The one that comes with the board is a standard mechanical quadrature encoder with a mometary NO switch.? You can replace it with another quadrature encoder either mechanical or electrical.?? I don't know what the resolution of the standard one is, but it's not super high so you would want to be careful with that.? The switch can be separate (and I am starting to think it would be better this way so that the encoder doesn't change settings when pushing the button).

73,


Mark.

Thanks Mar. I'm not entirely sure what kind I have. But I guess experimentation is the best approach. I agree about having a separate switch. That might be something I implement.
