Broken rotary encoder knob on x1

So someone knocked my x1 off a table and well a knob busted off. Does anyone know where I can possibly order a replacement pot? I think I might try giving it a re-soldering but i cant seem to pin point the same style pot. I’m out of warranty hence why I figured I might as well open this puppy up, plus it’s not exactly a warranty issue since negligence isn’t usually covered. I didn’t know if anyone on here knew where to order the part from possibly. Luckily it’s only a loop knob but if I can fix it why not. Unless someone else has a bright idea!

man thats a bugger mate. thats the right loop encoder right.

You’ll definitely find a similar one @ Digikey. You’ll need to scroll through their list and narrow the results until you find the right one.

Looks like a pretty generic rotary encoder.

4

Yeah its the right loop encoder. I’ll def look on digikey. Thanks for the advice!

Awesome thanks I think I found what I needed I ordered a couple incase I screwed up and a few other styles incase it was the wrong one.

6

Perfect order a few of them incase I blew it when soldering it and also ordered a couple other ones just in case I grabbed the wrong heights and lengths.

7

Not sure if its exactly the same but it looks damn close

also ordered this one. I’m not sure which one will work though.

They should both work, but I’m looking for the closes match.

I know the thread is old but I want to have such encoder (with no ending on my vci 100) is this possible ?

9

cause i want 2x 360 rotary encoder like the loop rotary on the X1 instead of the normal “key” rotary (with a stop on both sides) in my VCI-100. Is this possible ?

10

nope, not without hardware/firmware modification.

Normal potentiometer send a 0-5 volt to the micro controller on a singles pin, VS encoder sends 2 pulsed signals whose, once decoded, indicated if you turn the control clockwise or counter clockwise.

11

Damn :disappointed:
Cause this would be Perfect for my Mapping if i had 2 endelss Encoder ! :sleepy_face:

12

Report back on which one ended up being the right one so we know. :slight_smile:

Hi, what encoder did the job? Have a broken Loop Encoder need to fix it myself. :scream:

Thanks in advance.

So, someone find out which is the correct replacement part for X1 MKii, I have an S5 and also an enconder just went broke a few days ago, it looks very similar, I found on Mouser.com this P/N which is PEC11R-4120F-S0018, have you guys tried another?
