Built data entry knob stuff

Well, not much to write about actually. I have just built the design I made earlier but not yet mounted it or even tested it yet.

I made the strip board design using a program called Loch Master 3.0 available from http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/lochmaster.html for €39.90. A very good tool for planning your strip board projects!

Here's what I came up with using the program:

Good progress. Prototype done.

I got myself a programmer, some PICs and started to learn. I had to do the compulsory "blinking LED" but after that I continued to see if I could do what I wanted.

Maybe a data entry knob for Poly 61?

I have been looking for a reason to learn PIC programming for a while. But, with my Matrix 1000 editor project, a PIC really does not have much contribute with compared to the LPC2103 ARM7.
However, a few nights ago I was thinking that it might be nice with a data entry knob on the Korg Poly 61, similar to the alpha dial on the alpha junos.
Perhaps a suitable job for a PIC?
