March 5, 200719 yr Hi Everyone,Haven't posted for a while but always reading.I have finished the panels and structure for my overhead (777), I am moulding my own knobs but I am having trouble finding 45 degree rotary switches.I know there are a couple of sim site selling them for an arm and a leg, but I am not prepared to pay that much for them.Is there an easier solution.ThanksDavid'80% built 2DOF motion sim'Yes, I will post pictures at some point
March 6, 200719 yr The search below is from mouser.com for a rotary switch with 45 degree indexing...http://www.mouser.com/search/Refine.aspx?N...ry*&Ns=P_SFieldthe one below also limits to lug terminals...http://www.mouser.com/search/Refine.aspx?N...ld&Ntt=*rotary*good luck.... Aaron
March 6, 200719 yr There must be a cheaper way around it?Thanks for your input Aaron. You're in Australia arn't you?
March 6, 200719 yr No, actually Florida near Daytona Beach. I checked Digikey and Allied Electronics, but found mostly 30 or 60 degree indexing. Forgot about newark electronics, but their part searching isn't easy at all. Aaron
March 7, 200719 yr Hi David , Look at this link ,is in Spanish but I guess is the solutions .http://personales.ya.com/micabina737/brico...otat/detent.htmRegards, Alberto
March 7, 200719 yr Thanks Alberto,Good info for future reference. Only problem would be the 45 deg requirements and the positioning of the terminals, for the set up they are using, they require 90 deg which is easy for 30 deg increment switches.Richard,I responded to your PM and email, the email was returned and have not received a reply through PM. Did you get my response?David
March 8, 200719 yr No I did not receive boths. Perhaps my mail is bounced (blocked), now I will unbounce. Thanks Best regards.
