Hi James perhaps you have already tried this but, before launching into stripping the thing down, can I suggest that you swap the software parameters of an encoder that you know is working for the one that isn't. You can program the encoder to give these sort of results. Perhaps you could give us the parameters you have set it up with. Another check you might like to do is to push the knob to the side and hold it while you twist it. Try holding in different directions. Sometimes not all the connections on the encoder are successfully soldered during manufacture and a small amount of pressure will cause movement and will make/break the connection on one of the lugs. All the best Royce >My top left encoder is acting very strangely, and I am assuming it is a hardware fault.> >Rather than smoothly controlling the parameter it is assigned too, such as the pan, it moves it in a very jerky fashion. So when I scross right to left, the pan will move eratically, and in fact sometimes make small movements in the opposite direction. The acceleration on it is also messed up, and it is impossible to make an entire sweet with one quick twist.> >I don't know if anyone else has had a similar issue, and whether there is any chance it can be fixed?> >I'm assuming I need a whole new BCR :(> >James.>
