fu**** encoder

Parts Questions

so… In France, I don’t found any thing, RS don’t sell them any more…

but I look at digikey, and they’ve got many of them… but I found nowhere what kind of encoder is needed :

mechanical, not detend, but pulse per revolution? 16? 24? Output I think it’s serial (not BCD and not grey code… i don’t know what the second is).

here’s the link :

thanks every one!

It seems that the link doesn’t work… however, at the MIDIbox16E page you will also find a reference to a 24P encoder from mouser/USA. But maybe it’s cheaper to order the encoder from RS components in Germany, so that you don’t have to pay additional taxes.
