Gummy Bear Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Detents... Im guessing clicky thing is not the correct terminology? :0 Yeah it's not very precise, as detented encoders don't click. The best way I can describe a detented movement is to push your finger onto your knuckles and slide it from one side of your fist to the other. The dips between your knuckles are the detents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played more Defender and Robotron bavknin those arcade days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RARusk Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Original Tempest arcade game used an optical encoder - no detents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
