[sdiy] Do these things exist ? ( switch and pots )

[Tim Parkhurst]

As far as the + sign switch - sounds like a digital joystick (analog uses
pots, but digital uses switches). Maybe some of the really small joystick
type switches meant for use in laptops might work. Digi Key or Mouser
carries something like this.

 

As far as the spring loaded pot / pushbutton – sounds neat but I’ve never
seen anything like that. Maybe some custom hardware attached to a slide pot?

I was fantasizing about the Analog Solutions Phoenix last night. It has this
articulation button that puts out 0-10V depending on how far down it's
pressed. I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a spring loaded
potentiometer that works by pushing in and out ?  If so, what's it called so
I can search it out ?

 

  I'm pretty sure this next thing doesn't exist but it's an interesting idea
so here goes:

 

Imagine a SPDT  on/off/on toggle switch mounted so the switch flips
up/center/down. But when you get to the center position you could fip left
to right. Like two seperate but interdependent switches. From the rear of
the panel it would look like a + sign. Could be cool for matrix switch banks
or who knows what.

 

 

Who has lots of time on their hands ? That would be me,
