Hi, I am trying to track the position of a rotary encoder. Everything works great at really slow speeds, but when I start to spin the encoder quickly, the counter I have assigned in my program to represent the position of the encoder does not change as fast as I am turning the encoder. It looks to …

Repeat after me, slowly. I. Will. Never. Use. A. Serial. Print. of. any. form. in. an. interrupt. routine. Not for any reason.

Rotary encoder too fast for arduino to keep up?
