Awesome! I can see immeadiately the design is well thought through from start to finish. I love how you have tought about ease of assembly, clearance & component oreintation! Well done!

Ha, having a hard time getting my dual encoders into my mailbox without breaking the bank, so was looking for an alternative and I see Karl is the top comment here so that is a good enough solution for me!

Just come across yr channel today and love your work. Clear you've spent ages refining great designs which pleases my engineering brain and love the fact you share them. Thank you

this is super slick! so compact! nice work!

Thanks for the great part, I had encoders that were too long but the Dremel fixed that. I use this for a radio frequency knob (Garmin 430) in my sim panel. I opted for a minimalist panel just enough to simulate what I needed. Works great. Thanks again.

The best i have seen so far ! Great job 👌🏻 I’m starting to build my cockpit, arduino is on the table, proof of concept is done and the Creality printer is on the road 🎁 But I need your advice... I still don’t know where to go, analog gauges with steppers and servos + GNT750 (or GNS530). Or just a G1000 + the main backup gauges... 🤔 Thanks for your very useful ideas and videos ! And sorry for my English...

Cool man.. but why not design around a dual shaft encoder?

@danielmartinsson899 4 жыл бұрын

Great construction! What filament is the white one? And what nozzle size did you use? It seems to be quite smooth.

@FlightSimMaker 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks, for the most part I've been using Hatchbox PLA with a .4mm nozzle on an Ender 3.

@ThatGuyKal 3 жыл бұрын

maybe it's just me or something I've done wrong, I've printed the Lid and when I put the encoder through the lid it's so thick that there isn't any thread on the other side to screw the bolt on. Have I gone wrong somewhere? I'm using the same 15mm EC11 encoders you recommended.

Hi, I'm just getting into this DIY electronics thing, and so far managed to make a button box for lights and a very simple throttle using a slide pot, but the hard thing for me is I can't figure it out how to use rotary encoders. I'm using a Leonardo, and no plugins, just programming it using a joystick library. Could you enlighten me how would I make encoders work in game? I have no clue at all, bought two ky-040. Thank you!

Check out resources like Air Manger, SimVim, and Mobiflight. They all make it really easy to interface encoders and everything else with flight simulators.

Would be nice if you could share the design for the g1000 so we could use this design with it. Would be useless without it . Still a great design though. Quick note for those with a longer encoder just adjust the length of the outer case and you’ll be golden.

Should be easy enough to print one out and measure where it "plugs" in to the fascia. That's what I was going to do. I'll be designing a custom generic GPS fascia (with no display) which I'll be using these on

This is genius! Any chance making a G3X? I’d love to use one for my Xcub kit.

Maybe. Need to try sound touch screens out first. Once those work, then the rest will be really easy to design.

hey mate, can I ask why you need a dual rotary encoder?

@murfcam 4 жыл бұрын

Great stuff here and EXACTLY what I've been wanting to do! Question: Is that particular panel on your Thingiverse? I printed PFD_Right.STL but the holes were too small for shafts and the button mount holes aren't there. Basically you've spoiled me and I'm really wanting to make this panel. Keep up the awesome innovation and sharing!

@FlightSimMaker 4 жыл бұрын

Chris Murphy the holes are currently sized for the dual rotary encoders from Leo Bodnar. You can just drill them out for the shafts of the 3D printed dual rotary encoder. I’ll try and get a new file uploaded soon.

FlightSimMaker Thank you. I actually have a couple of the dual rotary encoders from www.propwashsim.com/store/dual-encoder-kit I’ll use. I also used tinkercad to widen the hole and added a couple more. I go back and forth between a 6-pack and G1000 so bought a touch screen monitor for G1000 bottom buttons. My plan is to just use the left and right panels mounted on a box without the screen or bottom buttons to be more compact and then mount next to monitor. Full panel like yours is still a must do one of these days though. For sure going to make your parking brake. You have the best I’ve seen for a DIY person hands down. Great stuff!

Chris Murphy I just uploaded the new .STLs with the wider holes on thingiverse. Thanks for the kind words. It’s still a work in progress.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the purpose of using two encoders at once like this?

@FlightSimMaker 3 жыл бұрын

Dual rotary encoders cost anywhere from 10$ - 25$. Two single encoders cost about 2$. So the purpose of using two is about saving money and using more commonly available parts.

I am seeing similar constructions of dual encoders here and there. There is no need to say, it is pretty smart, but I can't understand why. Why don't you just use a readily available commercial dual shaft encoder? They can be found for like $10 on aliexpress. Their volumetric footprint is 10 times smaller. So I can't get it, why everyone keeps creating this weird geared encoders. Is there something I am missing?
