 This week's IonNPI is from Borns. This is actually the first time we've done a Borns IonNPI, which is surprising to me. I didn't realize that we've never covered them. We do stock their rotary encoder, so I'm excited to bring out a new and fabulous rotary encoder from Borns. This one's going to blow your mind. Okay, let's go to the next slide. This is a dual concentric rotary encoder. This is funky. You're probably used to normal rotary encoders that have one rotating thing. This has two rotating things, but on one shaft. This could be pretty handy if you need a tight space fit user interface that has a lot of control because you can rotate two different rings and also press the button. This is called the PEC 11D. If you are familiar with the PEC series, which you probably are, they are the most famous rotary encoders. I don't know if Borns invented them, but they pretty much made them usable. Their standard shape for rotary encoders is what everybody uses. In fact, we stock a rotary encoder from Borns, the PEC 11 or PEC 12, and this comes with a knob. This one is only a single rotary encoder. It rotates once and there's a push button, but that's not super cool. There's also, we have other kinds of rotary encoders like this iPod click type. Basically whenever you want something to rotate all the way around, rotary encoders, and especially if you want also a button, I really like them. They're one of my favorite user interface types. I think type chambers are cool, but rotary encoders can have a very elegant feel to them. If you have an oscilloscope, there's tons of rotary encoders on it. Medical equipment, cars, stereo systems, whatever, anything that has adjustments on it tends to have a rotary encoder. Let's see, you need more than one rotary encoder. You can wire up multiples next to each other. That's possible. Let's say I have a demo where I have three rotary encoders wired up with STEMIQT ports, but you can have them next to each other. Let's say you want fine and coarse adjustment capabilities, and sometimes you can use the knob to select whether you want fine or coarse, but maybe the knob is also used for something else, or maybe there's just two elements that you want to change. I could see one ring being for bass and one for treble, but you want it to be in one knob, well, the party is here, and it's rocking, thanks to the 11D. You can see there's the shaft, that's one encoder, and then the brassy thing is a second encoder, and then you can also press it to, there's a D10 button inside. I will say that you do need a custom knob for this, obviously, because you want to have the outer ring latch onto the little divot there in the brass knob. There's a little slot, and you want to, whatever knob you design, sorry, there's two slots on each side, you want your knob to slot into that to grab in so you can have both rotate separately. This doesn't come with a knob, but if you're designing this into your product, chances are you're going to do injection molding anyways. I thought I'd show a quick demo, and then we would show that it's in stock. This is the PEC 11D, you can see I've got it wired up to a feather with a little OLED. I didn't wire up the buttons, you're just going to have to believe me, I wanted to just show the rotary encoder, but you know, you can press it, and it is a tactile switch. So it goes up and down, there is 15 D10s per rotation, and then if I grab this outer part and I rotate it, it rotates totally separately from the inner part, so dual concentric rotary encoders, very neat, but it works just like a rotary encoder you expect, you know, I just coded up with an Arduino demo, had the OLED going out, it took me like only 15 minutes to put this together, because it's it's like a standard rotary encoder, one on this side and one on that side. Alright, and on Digikey, AD and stock right now, get them like in. That's right, they are in stock, you can actually get these. These are really funky, I've never seen dual rotary encoders before, I don't know when I'd use them, but like if you need this, this is exactly, like this can totally solve a problem that you have, so yeah, check it out.
