Ultimarc U360 Mod to add rotary function&Top-fire/LED

Pages: << < (11/21) > >>

zallax:

I have been eagerly been awaiting the end result of this mod.  Any new info on it?

The LED mod would be nice but I am just drooling over the added rotary capabilty.

Franco B:

I think I pretty much have it sussed for adding a four pole jack/plug for RGB LED (could also be used for single LED + topfire).  Im going to order some parts tomorrow for a couple of prototypes.

Bender is your man as regards to the rotary function.


Bender:

Sorry for the hold up on this I've been swamped with work this summer and It doesn't look like I'll get back to it till September
the 3 things that you need to do are:

1. extend the shaft by about a 1/2 an inch at either 1/4 inch or 6mm and get the us digital encoder to fit that shaft extention

2.create a post and slot pieces to let the joystick spin, but not the encoder

3. extend the base so the PCB fits over the the extended shaft (this is much easier if you use a restrictor because the full through distance increases if you don't and you'll need a larger diameter magnet)



Stub:

Why the extension? So you have room for the plate and encoder? I had been playing with finding a way to add the encoder without extending the shaft. I think it is very workable.

Bender:

yes for the plate and the encoder
I'd love to know what you came up with
If you aren't lengthening the shaft you must be removing some of the existing part, no?

by the way I have completed the top fire and the Light up (one color LED) mods
