DIY haptic input knob: BLDC motor + round LCD
ΠΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π³Π»ΡΠ΄ΡΠ² 2,056,423
2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡIntroducing the SmartKnob View: an open-source input device with software-configurable endstops, virtual detents, haptic touch feedback, and a round LCD.
Since you can't feel the detents through the video, make sure to turn up the volume so you can at least hear them, particularly the fine-grained detents toward the end of the video.
A brushless gimbal motor is paired with a magnetic encoder to provide closed-loop torque feedback control, enabling virtual endstops and detents. Internally, everything is powered by an ESP32, with a TMC6300 BLDC motor driver, HX711 strain gauge ADC, VEML7700 ambient light sensor, and more!
I'll have a lot more to share about this project in the future, like a design and assembly overview, so make sure you're subscribed if you want to see more!
And follow me on Twitter (@scottbez1) for mini-updates, like this demo of the PCB-mounted strain gauges: / 1499510448864915465 or a sneak-peak of the internals: / 1502335685918814212

Good news! The motor used in this design had been elusive, but the community was able to identify the motor manufacturer and SparkFun had a bunch of these motors manufactured - the motors can now be purchased from SparkFun if you'd like to build your own! www.sparkfun.com/products/20441 SparkFun is an awesome company to support - they've been pushing the hobbyist and open-source electronics space forward for years! This isn't sponsored and I don't make any money from sales or anything like that; I just love what they're doing as a company. I've used a ton of their electronics boards in the past and I actually learned how to reflow solder at home by following Nate's old blog posts: www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/58 and www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/59 Very excited that they were willing to help make these motors more broadly available!

@stephanl5546 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
The idea isn't new. This is an extremely good implementation of an old idea I would say. Having a physical knob as additional input device for a computer has been there at least 10-15 years ago. The problem back then was that they just didn't find good use cases. I remember that it was marketed as tool for designers who work often with photoshop. The knob could be used to determine brush sizes and in general everything where you have a scrollbar. It sounds cool and I bet it is cool when using, but to be honest, there is no real benefit from it as using a mouse wheel also works pretty good already.

This is incredible!!! I would love to use something like this as some sort of universal control knob for different software. Imagine this being the volume knob for the PC by default but as you open up a particular software you can switch and control certain software features with it. Maybe with an added grid of simple buttons next to it to switch between different things you want to control. I know there are control decks out there for music making, lightroom etc but a knob with tactile feedback of this degree is simply something else. I have pretty much zero experience in electronics or programming/coding but I would definitely put money down on some sort of easy to built kit or pre-assembled product! As long as there are ways to configure it on an app by app basis.

I was absolutely thinking about the applicability of this for video editing.

This is so well implemented and built. Amazing stuff. This is definitely going to become a norm for new knobs in general.
@illitero Π ΡΠΊ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I cannot stand how much I genuinely need this kind of thing on my desk. The detail is so wonderful π€€
@elliotmarks06 16 Π΄Π½ΡΠ² ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This is actually so cool! I can see this as a great project when integrated with home-assistant devices.
@defenestrated23 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This is super cool! I'd love to see an integrated modular product.
@danieltabrizian 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Incredible, please make a video on the internals and how it comes together!
@thisisjinpo 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This one is so simple but so well built. There so many usage of it. Well done
@markatherton7848 8 ΠΌΡΡΡΡΡΠ² ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Well done, this is a great project.
@ZaneDragonBorn 4 ΠΌΡΡΡΡΡ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
It would be dope if this could be added as a matter device and be used and customized for actions in smartthings. Like managing light brightness or volume on something
@EXPLO17 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This knob has been in Mercedes cars since like 2015, same functionality too. It's quite amazing that the code for that is opensource, lots of different ideas/products can be made with this thingy alone.
@reconchrist 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Very, very cool and innovative. Excellent work! I love the spring loaded knob feature.
@tomfoth 8 ΠΌΡΡΡΡΡΠ² ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This is SOOOO cool in so many ways. I hope you find someone to produce these.
@G7EXZ 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Wow! I could see this making a HUGE impact on Amateur Radio imagine being able to setup the main rotary encoder (VFO knob) to your exact requirements of feedback on CW/SSB but also then it automatically select itself to Detent mode for FM/AM use! Then if you had a radio with a Menu system of settings it would be useful for that too. How long before someone uses one in a uBITX HF kit ? π#KD8CEC #uBITX
@AMalas 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
You can be the one!
@navatone 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Wow, that's a really nice idea!
2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
or even using several of these encoders on an advanced rig not just for the vfo but also for clarifier, af&rf gain, if shift/width, DSP control and then dynamically change them to rf power/drive, mic gain/compression/eq, CW keyer speed when going tx or adapt knob usage depending on the selected mode. That would cut down fiddling with the menu during the QSO and get rigs closer to a full hardware control like with dials and knobs on classic analog rigs. Modern rigs, albeit with better performance, became a bit cumbersome to operate compared to the old ft-902dm or ts-830s
@scottbez1 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I'm thinking this could work well with Home Assistant, or as a fancy jog wheel for video editing. Maybe mute and volume control for Zoom calls? What else would be cool?
@RobinGerritsen1995 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This would be a next level spacemouse for 3D CAD designing π±
@RobinGerritsen1995 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Or possibilities for an opensourced smart watch with tactile feedback.
@deprecatedcoder 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Just posted this to the Home Assistant subreddit before seeing this comment. Yes, so much yes! I can envision so many possible uses for this. What an utterly fantastic project. Well done!
@einsteinx2 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Open source Nest-style thermostat perhaps?
@einsteinx2 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Also see my other longer comment, but these would be great for a MIDI controller for audio work!
@MartinPaoloni 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Very cool project. This would make a killer Home Assistant control panel! Thanks for open sourcing your work!

@kriista 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Very inspiring! I've been working on a musical instrument controller based off a Teensy and a AS5601, along with some haptic feedback. Really love the addition of the motor and display here. Curious how "smooth" the motor feels when just spinning/rotating it. Ordered a few off Aliexpress to have a play with.
@scottbez1 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
This motor is basically completely smooth when unpowered, which is relatively rare - I've ordered and tried a LOT of different motors from AliExpress and most have noticeable cogging.
@kriista 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
@@scottbez1 Fantastic! For my controller I put a fair amount of time into getting really smooth skate bearings, and some offset weights (ala fidget spinner) so it tends to skate along quite smoothly on its own. I look forward to it arriving and playing with it. I've not dug that deep in Teensy-land (motor drivers), but the interface options are pretty staggering.
@dynamicdevices-iottraining7801 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ

@Toeknuckles 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
maaaaaaan this is EXACTLY what I was looking for like 2 years ago!! Thanks for this! cant wait to start playing around with it!
@einsteinx2 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Love this project! Immediately I want to take a bunch of these in a grid and make a software configurable MIDI controller! Is the size arbitrary or does it need to be that big due to all the parts? For a MIDI controller, half or quarter size would probably be perfect assuming screens are available, but even a grid of full size knobs would be cool. I could also see a use case in controlling custom stage lighting effects and other music-tangential use cases!
@widgity 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I was just looking up micro brushless motors for a midi controller like this when I came across this video haha. I think the key to making it small enough would be a different screen layout (or getting rid of it entirely). I was thinking maybe one screen with a bunch of knobs and each knob just has an led ring to indicate position and notches, then the screen could show actual values.
@BoopyTheFox 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I second this. Being able to configure if a thing is a knob or endless encoder depending on context is probably next generation of midi-controller hardware.
@shivaargula4735 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
It looks like majority of the hardware he's got physically inside the knob, but it doesn't have to be that way. If the depth of the device isn't as important, there's no reason you couldn't pack all the hardware further back into the enclosure and just have the knob extending out into the front. Getting the screen functional with that setup would be the only challenge.
@daviddavis1322 7 ΠΌΡΡΡΡΡΠ² ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Man this thing is just incredible to me. For checking various HMI evaluations for the setting being adjusted. It could simplify the sourcing of rotary knobs for a large project.

@TheHennes36 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Really cool! I actually had a similar construction in my studies - but it was with a fader - I βabusedβ a motorized fader to turn into a slider with software configurable endstops/force feedback. But putting this in a Knob is even smarter - just imagine combining both of these π
