I am building an interface and fancy using a rotary encoder to dial in some= parameters. The encoder would have no detents and would rotate forever in= each direction. I would like quadrature output. I would like a robust en= coder ( ~ 1 Million rotations ) that will 'feel' good to the operator and r= esist monkey-handed use. A qty one cost of $10 to $20 would be grand. A s= elector switch will determine which parameter is being entered or that the = encoder is in a 'parked' state. The parameter values vary from one to 100,= 000 units. I am open to recommendations about what others prefer as an input device. = Turn a knob ? Turn the knob on it's side ? Something else ?
