OK, not my prettiest job but you can't beat the 1.56$ part being available from Digi-Key today. I hope this will help some down the line when their push button on the encoder collapses and Phillip is out of stock
FYI, I used special low melting-point de-solder for the removal of the old encoder to make ensure there is no PCB damage. Another way is to cut all legs with a snipes and then remove one by one. Next cut the connections between the two pins on the three-pin side topside of the PCB. Easiest once the old encoder is removed. Next cut all connections from the pull-up resistors to the respective encoder pin through holes. Pin 16 of U5 (74HC165) is VCC and needs to go to the center pin of the new encoder and to one of the two pins of the two-pin side (switch). The outputs of the new encoder are the outside pins on the 3-pin side and need to go to R77 and R76. The other side of the switch from the two-pin side goes to R75. If anyone is interested I can take some more photos showing where to cut exactly so this can be duplicated. 36520 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Boom encoder.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36520| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PcarSBA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70507 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111838 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
