I am trying to load and test out this library on Teensy 4.0 with the examples
When included the library cannot find the other 2 sub-libraries included in the utilities folder
I used the add .zip library function.
Checked the sketchbook folders and all the components are there but for some reason can't read them
Can anyone help?
Please post the problem code, the full error message and a diagram of where exactly the libraries are installed
the code is just the example attached to the library

I changed the IO-pins and added some comments to explain the parameters
I tested it with just one encoder but I guess it will work

OK thanks - I am using PEC11R encoders which seem to have a nasty bounce on them
I'm just looking to improve the performance a bit
I need to use 4 encoders
So i did some more reasearch and came across this website
best regards Stefan
I needed some time to relocate a code-example from user Argmue who wrote a code-version that uses the table-decode-method. This is a polling-version that does not use interrupts. So this means you have to call the function fast enough to catch your max-frequency

When I wrote the NewEncoder library, the T4.0 and T4.1 weren't out yet. I have not since updated it for those boards.

So, you can give that a try. But, I think you've installed the library in the wrong place. Move the entire library NewEncoder library folder to "…/sketchbook/libraries". Then update the two files from the PJRC GitHub

nice that you answered at all. I would appreciate it very much if you would post all the links to the GitHub and the two files you mentioned. Your short mentioning leaves other users to do a lot of search

The two files are in the utility folder, same as when it's installed on your computer.

You don't get it what good service is. So I'm gonna write the detailed description myself
and attach the files myself.
When the Teensy-Addon from PJRC
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html
is installed.
In the subdirectory of this installation similar to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware*teensy*\avr\libraries\Encoder\utility*interrupt_pins.h*
this file interrupt_pins.h filesize 9kB (instead of 7kB)
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware*teensy*\avr\libraries\Encoder\utility*direct_pin_read.h*
this file direct_pin_read.h filesize 4kB (instead of 3kB)
are the right versions and must be copied to the subdirectory similar to
C:\Users\Stefan\Documents\Arduino\libraries*NewEncoder*\utility\
to make it compile with a teensy 4.0
best regards Stefan
direct_pin_read.h (3.82 KB)
interrupt_pins.h (8.3 KB)

I'm not sure what "service" you're looking for or think you're entitled to with regard to a piece of code I wrote for my own personal use and put on GitHub simply in case someone else found it useful.
It's free and you're under no obligation to use it. However, you're welcome to do so and to modify it for your own application needs.
Thanks so much Stefan

However, you're welcome to do so and to modify it for your own application needs.
I believe you wrote the code for the PEC11R encoder that I am having trouble with? Bourns should put you on the payroll
So far, in my limited experience, I've run across two types of the mechanical rotary encoders:
-
Those that complete a full quadrature cycle for every detent of rotation.
-
Those that complete a full quadrature cycle for every two detents of rotation.
The Bourns PEC11 is an example of the first, while the Alps EC11 is an example of the second.
The code at my GitHub will work with either type by providing the proper argument to the class's constructor, as explained in the README. There are also comments regarding this in the example code.
I actually "borrowed" the files you were having problems with (as well as that library's direct pin read technique) from the PJRC Encoder library. So make sure you've updated them for the T4.0 and T4.1.
As I said, it looks to me the problem may be that you have the library installed in the wrong directory. Another issue MAY be a backward slash ("") vs forward slash ("/") thing. I've never used Linux, but understand there may be some differences in that compared to Windows.
Finally, I highly recommend reading the Buxtronix article I linked at the bottom of the README. It explains the algorithm I used in the library. This is the best encoder algorithm I've come across as you get de-bouncing for free.
Yes I was going to try the slash thing. I am on Mac
As for directory on a Mac there is no other place where it can be stored.
