How to make an encoder non-detented?

metabit · June 22, 2007, 4:58am

Hello,

I have heard that I can make the detented encoders I bought from Smash TV into non-detented encoders.

Could someone explain the procedure.

Much appreciated.

Hi Jason,

I asked the same thing a while back:

glue the shaft to an electric engine (min 5000 RPM), turn on the engine, come back after one week, there you go, it s very important to buy good glue

… is this a joke?

Doing this with a mechanical encoder… all the abrasing from the detend notches. - You probably get a resolution of about 10’000 per rotation ;D
