Abstract
According to the present disclosure, a controller includes a base and a continuous sealing layer connected to the base forming an environmentally sealed compartment between the base and a lower surface of the continuous sealing layer. A circuit board is positioned within the compartment, and a rotary knob encoder is positioned on an upper surface of the continuous sealing layer. Movement of the rotary knob encoder is detectable by the circuit board through the continuous sealing layer.
