Tiller Wheel with Rotary encoder / potentiometer #174

Closed V3nom536 closed 3 years ago

V3nom536 commented 3 years ago

I was projecting this tiller wheel replica and came up that the best solution is by using a rotary encoder or a potentiometer, which one should i use and then can i use them with this library? Im really new to arduino and stuff like this so im sorry for any "stupid" question i made / i'll make. I red that attaching the central pin of a potentiometer to an input pin would of course make the board to read the values generated by the pot but can i use this lib for translating the analogic inputs into "movements" in the virtual joystick of w10? Thanks for further replies and again, sorry for any stupid question if made :)

This library is not concerned with what or how you read values, it only focuses on taking values and converting them into something a computer will see as a Joystick.

Ok perfect so, ill assign my pot to an axis and it should work fine. Thanks so much
