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

<< < (18/21) > >>

Hey, looks like I missed more cool stuff while I was busy with work...  Getting wiring up that shaft without impeding rotation is a tuffy.  Even the audio jack method I figured out for Christian a few years back wouldn't work, the magnet would have to be too far away from the sensor.  Unless you can use a larger magnet that had a farther reach...  

And I thought I was going to surprise everyone with my rotary competition sticks!

sorry I've MIA. I've been without power and the interwebs for four days thanks to a wind storm here in Maine

I didn't do anything particularly special. If the mod works out to be successful I would be happy to work with Bender and Andy if its something Ultimarc wanted to stock. If that is not possible I could get some production quotes for the shafts if there was interest and Bender was happy with that.

I'm just working on this for me and the community so it is certainly OK with me, and think it would be great if Franco and/or Andy wanted to offer any part of this

not yet.... maybe I can get that sooner than later though

that is pretty much how we are doing it although with the restrictor the magnet doesn't have to be that much bigger
the audio jack was a brilliant idea by the way! :cheers:
