Sorry no luck with that (the knobs). Neither system is made by Bosch/Blaupunkt.

So it looks like those won't work anyway since they don't fit on the standard shaft. A bit $$$ anyway.

Right, it needs to have a .250" D shaft I ordered a couple of these to test with:

We can put you in touch with Immersion who can provide the development software, it includes examples.

Is it still in preorders? On the webshop it says "in stock".

We have everything in stock except a knob and a USB cable. It has a standard mini USB port on it so any standard cable would work. If you don't care about either of those we can ship right now, just let us know.

I was also trying to find dimmer knobs that might work but I am not having any luck.

Here's a batch of 50 that are nice and plain with no set screws
