A touch-sensitive rotary control device having illumination function is shown. The device includes a rotary encoder 201 with conductive outer casing 204 and rotatable shaft 203 extending from it. The shaft operates as a light guide for a light source located in the rotary encoder. Conductive sleeve 206 is mechanically coupled to and surrounds the shaft, and is electrically coupled to the conductive casing of the rotary encoder. In this way, touch sensitivity is provided and light is allowed to exit the shaft. The device may comprise a conductive knob 208 having a hole into which the shaft extends allowing light to exit through opening 209. The device may comprise a motor 212 to provide torque in an opposite direction to a user to provide haptic feedback. The device may comprise a switch operable by movement in a direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the dial. The device can be provided as a kit of parts or may form part of a mixing console. |
