Sdr radio frequency knob

Wanting to control my sdrplay receiver’s frequency readout, I have a uno R3 board and a Rotory encoder non push button, any ideas welcome!

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @w7pau.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hello OM w7pau

Welcome to the worldbest Arduino forum ever.

This is a nice project to get started.

Follow the example code that comes with the library or
run some tutorials for the hardware selected.
If you are happy with the results of the tutorials you can merge these to your project.

Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.

We’ll, I’m so sorry this seems to upset you, but being so green I guess I will make some blunders, but I don’t need to feel like I can’t make mistakes, regards W7PAU

I assume this is SDR software residing on your computer and you have a receiver card plugged into your external antenna, and you use the keyboard and mouse to adjust the SDR.

Or, explain how it is currently controlled.

Yes, it’s on my computer, and it’s sdrplay duo receiver with console software!
I have a r3 uno board with a Rotory encoder that’s a 4 wire with a bare ground and no switch, pod, neg, an and b.
So I just need a mouse wheel to do the frequency knob.
I’m very new at this, so I’m just not sure what too look for in terms of a program or exactly what to do once I find it!

I would consider this a form of rotary encoder (old style mouse). Try watching DroneBotWorkshop while reading along... He explains the reason rotary encoders (input and output) work.
