Hello,
Thank you in advance for your help. I am looking to build a small device that contains a dial that performs two functions. 1. turns device on/off by turning dial 2. can be used to select certain options such as music genres. Ideally, this device would be no thicker the .5cm.
I have looked at potentiometers with spst switches, but could only find pots that were several centimeters thick. I have also looked at rotary encoders, but have not been able to find one that can be used as both an on/off switch and as a selector.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
bill
