I just got a powermate the other day, haven't had a chance to install it yet though.

It seems to be constructed of very high quality. It's a heavy little sucker for it's size.

I received mine over the last week (I was out of town), and it doesn't work with the software. The Phidget I received is P/N 1052, not 1052a. Any advice on figuring out what is wrong?

[QUOTE=mbkowns]Well I got the Phidget Encoder working good. Volume goes up and down, and when you push the button in it will mute then unmute. I plan on adding other things in for example hold button down for 5 seconds will restart the computer. This encoder can do alot for a small package.

hey man, any chance you could get a real good picture of the chip on the bottom of that phidget board? or if not, could you at least post a reply with a list of the text printed on the chip (or chips) on the board?

thanks in advance!

I am sure this will suffice for you.

I searched when I got this.. plenty of information around on the chip, etc.

Good luck...

sorry to bring about an old thread, but i just cant seem to get this to work. I was looking and hoping that it wasnt because my encoder is a 1052 not an "A"
anyone?
thanks

the only thing that i have managed to relize is that the enocoder program constantly stays at volume 0, insted of moving up when i turn it up using the hotkeys or just the tray buttons. Furthermore I know the enoceder works after checking it with the example programs

thanks

i'm in the same boat as Anshu...

been trying for a while but cant figure out how to write code to adjust windows volume with this encoder, couldnt get it to work in girder either...

Im using winstick software w/ a usb gamepad for temporary controls until i finish hacking my headunit. anyone know if its possible to trick windows into thinking the phidget is a usb gamepad?
