## Designs
### SmartKnob View
Premium SmartKnob experience. Under active development. Untested & unproven.
Premium SmartKnob experience. Under active development.
Not recommended for general use yet (mechanical and electrical revisions are planned).
Requires advanced soldering experience to build - reflow and small-pitch SMT soldering are required.
Features:
- Powered by ESP32-PICO-V3-02 (Lilygo TMicro32 Plus module)
- 240x240 round LCD, protected by 39.5mm watch glass on rotor
- PCB flexure and strain gauges used for press detection (haptic feedback provided via the motor)
- 8 side-firing RGB LEDs (SK6812-SIDE-A) illuminate ring around the knob
- USB C (2.0) connector for 5V power and serial data/programming (CH340)
- VEML7700 ambient light sensor for automatic backlight & LED intensity adjustment
- Versatile back plate for mounting - use either 4x screws, or 2x 3M medium Command strips for mounting
- Front cover snaps on for easy access

## Component Info
### Magnetic encoders
#### MT6701 (MagnTek)
Excellent sensor at a reasonable price - highly recommended. Less noisy than TLV493D, and more responsive (control loop is more stable) using SSI.
- Lots of IO options - SSI, I2C, and ABZ - should offer good response latency
- SSI includes CRC to validate data
- No power-down or low-power options - may not be ideal for battery-powered devices
- Not available from US distributors (Mouser, Digi-Key)

#### TLV493D (Infineon)
A mediocre choice. Easy to prototype with using [Adafruit's QWIIC breakout board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4366).

be detected by:
- Frame Counter (FRM) counter stucks and does not increment anymore.
In my experience testing 4 different Adafruit breakout boards, 2 of them (50%) regularly exhibit this lockup behavior within a minute or two of use.
As of 2022-02-08, there is limited availability of this IC.
In my experience testing 4 different Adafruit breakout boards, 2 of them (50%) regularly exhibit this lockup behavior within a minute or two of use. It is possible to detect and auto-reset (and there is code in the project to do so), but it is slow and may cause undesirable jumps/delays if the sensor locks up often.

#### MT6701 (MagnTek)
Very promising based on the datasheet and initial tests. Seems to be less noisy than TLV493D, and more responsive (control loop is more stable) using SSI.

### Motor drivers
#### TMC6300-LA
This is a relatively new IC and it's a perfect match! There generally aren't any other drivers (with integrated fets) that meet the requirements for the low-voltage and low-current motors used in this project.
This is a relatively new IC and it's a perfect match! There generally aren't any other drivers (with integrated fets) that meet the requirements for the low-voltage and low-current motors used in this project (DRV8316 might work, but has not been tested).
