Arduino Mega & Rotary Encoder LED Ring Breakout Board

Hi,

I have setup of an Arduino Mega with Rotary Encoder LED Ring Breakout Board from Sparkfun.

I have the example code.I have changed only the pin assigment like this:

#define SDI    26    //Data
#define CLK    24    //Clock
#define LE     22    //Latch

//These are the rotary encoder pins A, B, and switch
#define ENC_A    32
#define ENC_B    30
#define ENC_SW   31
#define ENC_PORT PINC

but it is doing nothing(only the one led light up when the encoder button is pressed) Where can be the problem? Thanks for any advice.

Where can be the problem?

Probably in the bit you didn't post.

Here is the whole code..I hope it will help you to find some bug :slight_smile:

 This example shows 3 sequences that are possible on the ring of LEDs around the encoder based on rotation of an encoder.  The 3 sequences are 
 selected by entering 1, 2, or 3 in the serial command prompt.  The serial window shows the current rotary encoder count.  As the encoder is turned, 
 the serial display shows a raw count of the rotary encoder's value and the LEDs show a scaled version of the value.  If the button on the rotary 
 encoder is pushed, the bottom LED will come on.  Each section of code below discusses the process required to do this. 
 
 A note on setting the output sequence:
 Think of each LED as a single bit in a 16-bit long binary string.  If a bit is 1, the LED is on, if a bit is 0, the LED is off.  
 By making a string of ones and zeros, we choose which LEDs to have on and off, and then send this string to the shift register to display it.
 For example 1000000000000001 binary (0x8001 in hex) will have the fist and last LEDs on, the rest off.

/*This is a 2 dimensional array with 3 LED sequences.  The outer array is the sequence; 
 the inner arrays are the values to output at each step of each sequence.  The output values
 are 16 bit hex values (hex math is actually easier here!).  An LED will be on if its 
 corresponding binary bit is a one, for example: 0x7 = 0000000000000111 and the first 3 LEDs 
 will be on.
 
 The data type must be 'unsigned int' if the sequence uses the bottom LED since it's value is 0x8000 (out of range for signed int).

The led ring board is ok but I have problem that Arduino is not getting data from the encoder.How can I test the encoder if it is OK?
