@s_ol@merveilles.town I'm not aiming at hi-end/hi-res stuff (at least now), something simple with budget off the shelf components would be a good start. that aurora "mixer" looks more or less like what I have in mind, but it's like 18 years old, and based on PIC MCU that I know nothing about. I think something like RPi Pico, STM32 or ESP32 would be much better fit for it today

    @oleksiy@sonomu.club oh i didn't mean hi-res in that sense, I just meant that ICs like this MT6701 used in the "smartknob" have the resolution you'd need to get decent angular resolution from a deck sized encoder, where the usual 30/48/...-step rotary encoders would not be sufficient and where generally any shaft-based encoder would probably struggle mechanically with given how much lever even a small DJ controller deck would put on it https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/C2856764.html https://github.com/scottbez1/smartknob
