Wheel
The sensor design for a wheel is essentially the same as that for the slider, but the array of keys are
arranged in a circular form (see
wheels from 15 mm to 21 mm in diameter that are constructed with at least 6 keys. Note that the X
fingers taper to Y
diameter of the wheel.
As with the slider, you will need to calculate the number of X fingers for the wheel. However, as there is
no end border, X
has been calculated is distributed equally across the X fingers.
Figure 6-2.
To design the wheel:
1. Decide on the diameter (D) of the wheel (15 mm to 21 mm).
2. Check that the outer arc (W) of each key in the wheel is between 6 and 8 mm:
If W is < 6 mm, then consider doing one of the following:
– Break the wheel into fewer keys
– Make the diameter of the wheel larger
If W is > 8 mm, then consider doing one of the following:
– Break the wheel into more keys (if the controller supports more keys)
– Make the diameter of the wheel smaller
– Use a resistively interpolated design to artificially break the wheel into smaller pieces 
