The DIY Knobster only works with Air Manager or Air Player panels. It does not work with KnobXP (VR)
It is possible to create your own knobster using:
- An Arduino Nano
- A dual rotary encoder with push button
- (Optional) some kind of housing
1. Preparing the Arduino Nano
You can flash the Arduino Nano from Air Manager 3.7 or higher for Windows.
Air Manager 4.x
- Open up Air Manager
- Go to the Home tab
- Push the 'Flash' button in the ribbon menu
- Select the Arduino Nano, and click 'Next'
- Set the COM port of your Arduino Nano
- Check the 'Flash as Knobster' option
- Click 'Flash'
- After the flashing is done click 'Device' in the ribbon menu
- Select the DIY Knobster and click 'Next'
- Set the COM port of your Arduino Nano and click 'Add'
Air Manager 3.7
- Open up Air Manager
- Go to the Devices tab
- Push the 'Flash' button in the ribbon menu
- Select the Arduino Nano, and click 'Next'
- Set the COM port of your Arduino Nano
- Check the 'Flash as Knobster' option
- Click 'Flash'
2. Connecting the rotary encoder to the Arduino Nano
There are fixed pins that should be connected to the appropriate rotary encoder pins.
Rotary encoder pin | Arduino Nano pin |
---|---|
Inner encoder A | D4 |
Inner encoder common | GND |
Inner encoder B | D5 |
Outer encoder A | D3 |
Outer encoder common | GND |
Outer encoder B | D2 |
Push button | D6 |
Push button common | GND |
