Render of the Rev-B rodeo-encoder-1 at an angle: a small square black board with one rotary encoder standing on a threaded bushing, its knurled shaft upright.

rodeo-encoder-1

Designed

The encoder bank cut down to one, drawn on the same 25 mm square as the single pot: same mounting hole, same standoff, the LED moved a millimetre further out to clear the encoder’s switch pins. The push switch keeps the bank’s resistor ladder with one rung on it, so the firmware that already debounces four switches handles this one without a new line of code.

Designed

Drawn and routed, with fab outputs generated — and not ordered. The first Rev B run went to JLC on 2026-10-18 and covered thirteen boards; this is not one of them.

Planned

The panel hole is Ø7.5 mm for an M7 × 0.75 bushing, which still has to be checked against Bourns’ datasheet before anyone drills a panel for it.

Rodeo goes to Kickstarter in January 2027. The waitlist hears first, and day-one backers are planned to get an early-bird price. One email to confirm, then nothing until there is news.

You will get one email asking you to confirm. Nothing else until there is something to say, and unsubscribe from any of it.
