About the Rotary switch board

Rotary switch board is an open source PCB design by MobiFlight, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 27.3 × 29.3 mm, with 11 components from 5 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 8 resistors, 1 connector, 1 switch and 1 capacitor.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

PCBs and breakout boards, designed by the MobiFlight community

This module uses the "SR16" rotary switch that can be found in 2 to 8 position variants, with 45 degree rotation between positions.

The board has a resistor ladder and should be wired to an analog input like it was in the potentiometer. Each switch position will have a fixed analog value.

The switch has a panel mount thread and a nut, so the 20x20 is just an alternative way to mount it the same way as the other 20x20mm mounted boards.

Rotary switch board: common questions

How big is the Rotary switch board?

The Rotary switch board measures 27.3 × 29.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rotary switch board?

11 components, from 5 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Rotary switch board design files?

From the MobiFlight/mobiflight-pcbs repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Rotary switch board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with MobiFlight. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
