Arduino Text Input Using Rotary Encoder

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi All,

I just completed a project and currently have all of the variables hard coded. I'm looking for some guidance on how to create a text input for the user to save values into the EEPROM, in particular things like entering a username.

My limitation is the input. I'm trying to make the device with a single rotary encoder and a power button. Thought is, having the ability to scroll through letters and to select each character by clicking, scroll to save, commit to EEPROM.

I can't seem to find anything on this topic aside from the following video, but documentation on the code is limited. Any guidance on this would be much appreciated!

The code in the YouTube video is pretty well commented- what don't you get?

Thank you! (palm to face moment) Just realized it would display properly after downloading it and opening the HTML file locally. No to see if i can modify this for a 16x2 display.
