Re: Forty-9er Transmitter
Several others have had that problem. I've dialed my voltage back from my base rig voltage of 13.8V to 12V and I've not had any problems. I did have a heat sink on it before that, but have since removed it when the voltage was turned down. The original unit I build had no problems.

Re: KY-040 encoder threaded for mounting? [2 Attachments]
Here's 10 encoders for less than $5 including shipping (search: 121993737161):

[ from MICHAEL BOHN included below]
I also needed an encoder with threads, and was concerned by several comments from buyers?who were disappointed to find out that what they got didn't look like the pictures.? I picked up some from this source and they all had threads with nuts and washers.?
Way more pricey than the ones direct from China, but I got them in two days instead of two or three weeks.
The pins on the bare encoder are pretty flimsy and I needed a way to connect to them remotely, so I mounted them to a small board and added a five pin header. I also added the 10k resistors in series with the encoder and push button contacts, although I'm
not sure I really needed those:
