Problem: Arduino pro micro rotaries

djowwie · March 10, 2022, 2:08pm

Hey all,

I'm currently working on a custom sim wheel. I have made a custom pcb with a arduino pro micro on top of that. I have all the buttons working but i can't get the rotaries to work. I have used a sketch from a button box and changed it to my situation.

This is my code now:

//BUTTON BOX

  {5,6,7,8,9},
  {10,11,12,13,14},
  {15,16,17,18,19},
};

struct rotariesdef {
  byte pin1;
  byte pin2;
  int ccwchar;
  int cwchar;
  volatile unsigned char state;
};

      Joystick.setButton(rotaries[i].cwchar, 1); delay(50); Joystick.setButton(rotaries[i].cwchar, 0);
    };
  }
}

My rotaties are connected to:
Rotary 1: pin 4 & 5
Rotary 2: pin 10 & 16
Rotary 3: pin 14 & 15

What am i missing?

horace · March 10, 2022, 2:20pm

have you tested the rotaties without the buttons
add some Serial.println() statements to your code so you can check the flow of control and the state of the various variables
provide a schematic?
how do you power the system?

alto777 · March 10, 2022, 2:41pm

I am missing details on these alleged rotaries. Did you custom make them, or are they off the shelf units that plug into or are connected to you PCB?

If you made them, take some pictures and let's see, just curious.

If they are commercially available, make and model, please, and tell us you tested and made them work before you did your PCB.

In which case you might post a schematic and graphics of the PCB.

TIA

The fact that each rotary encoder needs a minimum of one interrupt pin to be triggered in order for it to work correctly. You code seems to be polling the pins and not in a very efficient way.

Can you say what type of encoder you have and post a link to where you bought it.

I have found that you need to poll at least 1000 times a second to get a single encoder to work correctly.

Get one encoder working before trying all three.

never had much sucess polling rotary encoders (never attempted three) always used interrupt on change or processors with hardware QEI decoders

Grumpy_Mike · March 10, 2022, 5:26pm

Use the Encoder Library
from Encoder Library, for Measuring Quadarature Encoded Position or Rotation Signals

That works fine. Read carefully the pin allocation section of the documentation.

kolaha · March 10, 2022, 6:06pm

You has 13 buttons, right? In sketch 20?

djowwie · March 10, 2022, 7:10pm

Yes i had, i have changed it now to 13 buttons, with 4 rows and 4 cols.
I have confirmed that the pins of the rotary are working by adding pin 14 and 15 to the button row. It then gives a input at least.

But i have no idea how to program the sketch to get the rotary to work. I'm a total beginner in this.

I have uploaded the sketch to my arduino, but it is not working for me? i don't know what is going wrong here.

kolaha · March 10, 2022, 8:18pm

does any other sketch worked somehow? Blink?

djowwie · March 10, 2022, 8:21pm

If i add pin 10 and 16 to the button row and col and i turn the encoder it gives input. I know this isn't working, but it is to test for any input. So the lines on the pcb are working.

Like this:
byte rowPins[NUMROWS] = {8, 7, 9, 6,10};
byte colPins[NUMCOLS] = {21, 20, 19, 18,16};

take multimeter and check connection of GND pin to encoders.

djowwie · March 10, 2022, 8:37pm

Please, call me stupid. I just checked all the pins, and guess which one i forgot indeed. Omg i'm so ashamed of myself..

Thank you so much for your help and time!

kolaha · March 10, 2022, 8:44pm

what answer was most helpful? mark it as solution

djowwie · March 10, 2022, 8:48pm

I did mark it already It was the one with the ground pins.
