*********

EDIT :

25/07/03 We’re currently at around 235 orders, I ordered yesterday so I should receive the encoders in about 2-3 weeks. 

Regular shipping costs between 5$ and 17$ and can be insured

Final price for encoders should be around 2.46$ canadian which makes ~1.72$US or ~1.49Euros

This could be interesting for those who wants Undetented encoders.  

Little explanation : Undetented encoders do not have “dents” meaning that when you turn them it feels like a regular pot.  With detented encoders you feel a click (usually 24).  The Midibox16E requires undetented encoders, Other midiboxes can use both type.

I can get some STEC16B03 24 res ALPS encoders for around 1.7$US each, which is pretty cheap.  Only problem, there is a minimum order of 250, so I will need to know if people want some and how many.  If enough people wants some and I reach 250 or more, I can make it ship at my home (Montreal) and ship it to you.  So if you’re interested, please post the number of encoders you would like.

Thanks,

Nat

Hi!

I need 16, but 20 is okay. Only probem is that i’m from Holland, so the shipping could become quite high. If you can give me a quote on the shipping (insured please…) i’ll let you know if i’m in asap.

Rgds,  Alex.

Thanks Kr8R, I added you to the list, shipping should be around 10$ for regular post.

I hope we’ll reach the goal of 250 soon, we’re currently at 68 which isn’t that bad after 2 days.

Nat, could you add me in the list please.

I don’t know how much I need for this moment …

When you hope buy it please ?

I say you in the french forum for how much I need (30 minimum I think … )

Could you have a detented encodeur ? because I didn’t find it in france …

Thx :wink:

Hey jesaiplu,

 if you can’t get detented encoders anywhere else, talk to Ian, he may be able to help you.

I’ll take 8-16 of them.. not sure yet

10

Hello jesaisplu, if you want strictly detented encoders I suggest you talk to Ian Hurlock.

If you still want undetented encoders from me, it might take some time since the minimum order is 250.  It depends on how much people want some…

In between, I just talked to a guy from Acess and they use the same encoders on the Access Virus C rack :slight_smile:

Hey jesaiplu,

Ok, thank’s :wink:

I need 2-3 detented for a joggle and 30 undetented so if Nat could be have some it’s more simple if he could join it with the detented (Sorry for my bad english …)

Unfortunatelty I cannot get detented ones since I’d have to order another 250 of them…  For the jog wheel, isn’t the encoder low shaftless ?

13

i’ll readjust my order Nat - make it 16

looking forward to this :slight_smile:

Jesaisplus : see private message in french

OK, I´ll get in there with 16 for the SID (and one to jump on if something does not function).

Postal Code and so on per PM, can you tell me how much the shipping costs will be?

18

This encodeur work with a MB based on 18f452 pic ?

i’d like to get in for 20 on this, if possible.

i am in dallas, tx usa (zip 75081)

jimp : noted.  Shipping should be under 10$.  Once I get enough confirmations, I will buy the encoders and check with each person for shipping modalities.  It shouldn’t be more than 12-13US$ for most of the world, usually between 4 and 9 $.

jesaisplus : Undetented encoders will work with both the PIC16F877 and the PIC18F452…  It will work with MIOS and with the midibox16e firmware.  There is also a wiring scheme on the midibox16e page made specialy for this particular model.
