Hi!
Today I got a bunch of rotary encoders in the mail. I hooked one up, and it's working great. I'm using a library called Encoder and this is the code I'm using:
/* Encoder Library - Basic Example
* http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Encoder.html
*
* This example code is in the public domain.
*/
#include <Encoder.h>
// Change these two numbers to the pins connected to your encoder.
// Best Performance: both pins have interrupt capability
// Good Performance: only the first pin has interrupt capability
// Low Performance: neither pin has interrupt capability
Encoder myEnc(5, 6);
// avoid using pins with LEDs attached
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Basic Encoder Test:");
}
long oldPosition = -999;
void loop() {
long newPosition = myEnc.read();
if (newPosition != oldPosition) {
oldPosition = newPosition;
Serial.println(newPosition);
}
}
The problem is that in every step the value of the rotary encoder increases by 4. I'ts not the library's fault, but the encoder.
if I divide newPosition by 4, I get this in the serial monitor;
Basic Encoder Test:
0

How can I make the the serial monitor output 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 instead?
