Though I by no means really owned one I do bear in mind taking part in with an iPod contact wheel after they first got here out. Such a beautiful method to work together with lists, however a contact wheel can be utilized for a lot extra. If you wish to experiment with capacitive contact in a round kind then the Touchwheel0 from Todbot Synth Toys is unquestionably price a glance.
It’s a 30mm diameter wheel on a neat rectangular PCB with mount holes. Bought as a naked board it’s equipped with three 0805 floor mount resistors that want soldering to the board. 0805 packages are fairly chunky and are simple to solder even for relative novices. There are 4 pin pads on the PCB, these are -, A, B, and C. The three pins must be related to three digital GPIO pins in your microcontroller of alternative and there are included examples for CircuitPython and Arduino supplying you with begin in connecting this to a variety of programs.
The examples present you how you can convert the uncooked output from the pins into 0-360 diploma angle measurements and you may see within the video under an instance of two Touchwheel0 controlling two NeoPixel rings. With a gap by the centre of the contact wheel, Tod mentions you may doubtlessly add a button which immediately makes me consider numerous controller concepts! We look ahead to seeing what individuals give you with these.
