Re: [xpantastic] Removing the Encoder caps

2013-04-14 by Omar

the issue we're referring to here has to do with new encoders, not the originals. The replacement kit that Syntaur sells uses a pot that doesn't meet the exact specs of the originals. Hence the issue.

Syntaur has found a new part that does meet the original spec of "1-click per value" and I will be testing them soon.

Have you changed your encoders already?
The reason I ask, This is how my encoders were behaving for awhile. (multiple
clicks per Inc/Dec)
Eventually this got worse, so I pulled out my Oscilloscope and after some
checking, I found

the schmidt trigger chips, which de-bounce the encoder signals were failing. I
replaced all of these
and it's worked fine ever since. I have never cleaned em. And they have
seen some heavy use for years now.
