I have designed a PCB for the GPS unit. I haven't decided yet if I will be using something like Leonardo or Pro micro on the pcb itself to be recognized as a joystick or just leave all open to connect to an Arduino Mega 2560. I have designed the second option but I'm tempting on the first option. The Push Buttons will be the once with leds on them.  AlbEagle |

Hi everybody, news for anyone interested in the GNS530 PCB. I have some available. If you're interested. The PCB is 6 euro and the shipping for Europe approximately 4 euro.  Kind regards, Bart |

Are you able to either supply the switches/buttons or let us know where to purchase them from to solder on ourselves? TIA

Hi all,
I have not yet started to mount components. However, based on the PCB I think Albeagle's design is for standard encoders and the switches are supposed to be with a built-in LED. However maybe Albeagle knows best and he can inform us all.

First of all sorry guys for not answering your questions, I have been pretty busy lately, I will do it as soon as I can. Since the most expensive part of the radio stack and the GPS are the dual concentric encoders, my intentions were to make it cheap, so you need two encoders EC12 plastic encoders ( EC12 link here) to mount on both sides of the PCB based on this principle: Dual concentric encoders.It is also designed to have tactile buttons with led's built in it like these ones: Tactile buttons with leds.but they need separate 12V power input so there is a little work to get it done, the other problem about the led tactile buttons is that it is hard to install the knob if you look at one of them. That's why this is optional as these normal tactile buttons have the same dimensions and were meant for it in the first place. Normal Tactile buttonsKnobs need to be 3D Printed (I have already designed them) or you can use these ones for the bigger knobs Big Knobsand these ones for the smaller ones Small KnobsAs connector you can use this headers: HeadersAnd the cables here: Cable For PWR ON/Off encoder I wanted to use this one with a different knob: On/Off EncoderAnd the V1 Enc is a normal Encoder. If you use the buttons with leds, you need Resistors on the back (size needs to be calculated from you depending what tactile buttons you are going to use). It was designed to be used with this screen: LCD ScreenYou have to be careful as there is another cheaper version of this display which can't be used as a monitor but is intended to be used only with raspberry pi (I made a mistake and purchased that version so I still have it unused, if anyone needs it for raspberry pi let me know, the price is like in internet ($30)). When I have time I will check the GPS PCB again about the 12V Leds and will publish the gerber files on the website (for the GPS). Since bart still has 4 spare PCB-s you better purchase from him because you need a min qty of 5pcs if you order them yourself. |

I can actually help 8 people out, since I ordered 10 in total. that's why the price is so low! In need 2 myself :-)

Hello everyone ...
I just received the Pcb from Bart ...
send very fast, thanks to him and the designer Fatmir Halili.
I will keep you informed of the progress.

For the dual encoders I found another solution on the internet. If you have the physical space to accommodate maybe this is a solution:  The con is that you have to drill a 16mm hole but the solution looks fine to me. the components are 3d printed and the .stl files can be found here: www.tinkercad.com/things/dwthDbal5YYRgds, Bart |

I know about this, it needs space and it is more difficult in my opinion.
