Ultimarc U360 Mod to add rotary function&Top-fire/LED
kronic24601:
bookmarked. Love to get lighting w/ rotary in my u360s.
jtslade:
Andy could the Hall Effect sensor that tracks the position of the U360 Joystick be altered to sense rotation of the stick?
Is it possible to use two Hall Effect IC's ?
jtslade:
Could a black/white rotating color pattern be embedded around the shaft, then a small mounted optical camera could detect rotation speed and direction..

Cannot remember if it was in this thread, but I remember Andy answering this exact question with a big no. :-[ Sorry.
As for your other question ... :dunno
Update: After thinking about your above question, I think the problem would be that since the joystick is both rotating, and moving around, the camera would have a REALLY hard time (probably impossibly hard) reading this constantly. (as the camera would be fixed of the PCB).
EvilNuff:
Saw this linked from another thread, by bender I think? Bender any chance of pics and/or docs on how you did the rotation? I think I see enough to piece it together...just don't know if I want to take the plunge yet and wing it. :)
Rotary u360s would seriously make my day.
