Find it on Digit-key: https://www.digikey.com/short/22hmzq3b Last week we took a peek at Rotary Encoders available at Digi-Key. This week we're going to try to find a similar-footprint rotary potentiometer. When would you want a pot vs an encoder? What is a rheostat? What are some nifty options you can get when ordering? What about knobs? We'll go digging for the potentiometer that best fits our p...

We're finally getting back to some really old seesaw projects. Seesaw is our "i2c to anything" protocol/chip firmware. Turn a 50 cent chip into an I2C to NeoPixel/GPIO/ADC/DAC/Captouch/Encoder/etc converter. This breakout will let us read rotary encoders, notoriously annoying to use, into an easy I2C peripheral! These boards are 1" x 1" so they can be easily reflowed with an adorable mini hot plat...

We're on a bit of a tear, playing with mechanical interface elements like mechanical keyswitches and now rotary encoders. This week we finished our 4-key I2C breakout, we had a yucky edge-case condition in our firmware where an GPIO IRQ could come in while we were handling one already, which caused a lockup. We also finished a very old project to make an I2C rotary encoder, while we were in the se...
