Hi,
I am looking for a rotary switch/encoder or a pantometer that works via the USB HID class. So for each position of the rotary switch it should output a unique string via USB? I'll need a switch/ pantometer and a board that translates the serial input into USB (HID class - cause I cannot install any drivers on the media-computer I am using). Ideally 10 or more positions.
An alternative would be a rotary switch that ouputs GPIO data, in that case I would of course only have 8 distinct positions.
Some words about what I intend to do: I want to create some sort of "wheel". If its turned it should trigger videos/images on a media-computer. As already mentioned: I cannot install any drivers, but the computer works with USB HID devices and also has GPIO. Until now I am doing exact the same thing with an USB RFID sensor - it works fine, but could cause some trouble, because the RFID tags aren't read correctly each time, so I thought about doing it with a mechanical switch.
I have looked quite a while now, but couldn't find anything useful. Does anyone know products to do that?
Thanks a lot
