Rotary Encoder information

wildstar87 commented 9 months ago

Was having a lot of problems getting a rotary encoder to work. Finally found this note, buried in the thread. Would be nice to put this into your notes so it's more easily found.

Information was found here in the main thread: http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/index.php?topic=7218.msg71747#msg71747

The control method is selected this way:

go to menu
press and hold center button ot encoder button for 5 seconds
pres and release center button to select the control option
leave it alone for 5 seconds and it will exit

The meaning of options:

KEYS - the plain old 3 button control
ENC-A-1PPD - encoder with channel A event, 1 pulse per detent
ENC-AB-2PPD - encoder with channel A and channel B event, 2 pulses per detent (one for A and one for B)
ENC-A-2PPD - encoder with channel A event, 2 pulses per detent
ENC-AB-4PPD - encoder with channel A and channel B event, 4 pulses per detent (2 for A and 2 for B channel)

Just select what works best for you. The goal is to select an variant which leads to change of temperature/option with one up or one down per detent.

Thank you. I really think that would be useful, I didn't even know you could use a rotary encoder. Are you comfortable preparing a PR for adding that?

Not sure what a PR is in this case.

I made the PR, but never done it before, so let me know if I screwed something up.
