Experimental Products: SparkX products are rapidly produced to bring you the most cutting edge technology as it becomes available. These products are tested but come with no guarantees. Live technical support is not available for SparkX products.
The Rotary Dial Kit is designed to be a simple interface device for your project. Input is achieved using a rotating encoder bezel and output is handled by a ring of addressable RGB LEDs along the inside edge of the ring. Two keyhole hangers are milled into the back of the Rotary Dial so it can be wall mounted.
The design was inspired by the rotating bezel on my Samsung Gear smartwatch as well as wall-mounted IoT devices such as the Nest thermostat.
Tools
To assemble the kit, you'll need:
- A small Phillips screwdriver
- A soldering iron and some solder (a flux pen helps too!)
- Pliers or Tweezers are handy but not necessary
