Rotary potentiometers, switches, and encoders all share a basic design: adjustment is done via a shaft onto which a knob is attached, and knobs are sold separately. That doesn’t mean one knob fits all ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

Microchip has introduced a touch controller family for ‘knob-on-display’ (KoD) human-machine interfaces. These interfaces add a physical ‘clicky’ knob to the front of a display without traditional ...

CHANDLER, Ariz., June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many automotive and industrial touch HMI designers are looking to merge the benefits of a mechanical rotary encoder input with the flexibility of ...

A line of knobs for encoders and switches features bell- and top-hat-shaped 16-mm parts. Available in soft-touch or hard plastic designs, the knobs accept standard D-shaped 6-mm shafts. Blue or white ...

Integrating touchscreen and rotary-knob control into a single IC simplifies combining these two different but complementary user-input devices. Touchscreens and touchpads haven’t totally taken over ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

Sometimes, all the buttons you have at your disposal to control a computer fall short of the convenience a twirly little knob can offer. They're often relegated to media volume control on a DAC or an ...
