Updated Rotary Encoder Menu

A project log for Polling a Push Button Rotary Encoder

A push button rotary encoder is a neat input device for an Arduino. Unfortunately interfacing to it is not!

Updated Rotary Encoder Menu

I updated the Rotary Encoder menu for the LCD display:

// Include LCD library and initialise
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// Define Adruino pin numbers for LCD
#define en   7
#define rs   8
#define d4   9
#define d5  10
#define d6  11
#define d7  12
#define led 13
// Set LCD
LiquidCrystal lcd(rs,en,d4,d5,d6,d7);

/* ROTARY ENCODER AND PUSH BUTTON POLLING CODE */
#define Clk 2
#define DT  3
#define SW  4
// Poll and debounces a Keyes rotary and push button switch
// Inputs:
//   Clk (Pin A with 10k pullup resistor)
//   DT  (Pin B with 10k pullup resistor)
//   SW  (Switch without a pullup resistor)
//   +   (Power for pullup resistors)
//   Gnd
// Exports:

    flagClk=true;             // Flag Clk has changed

  }

    EncoderPos+=encoderDir;   // Update the encoder
    flagClk=false;            // Reset Clk flag
    flagDT=false;             // Reset DT flag
  }
  
  // Update switch with 10ms debounce
  testSW=(PIND>>SW)&1;
  if (testSW!=statusSW) {
    statusSW=testSW;
    cntSW=10;
  }
  if (cntSW>0) {
    cntSW--;
    if (cntSW==0) {
      Switch=statusSW;
      UpdateSwitch=true;
    }
  }
}

}

The main change was to pre-empt the menu level display. Previously it was only updated after the rotary button was turned or the push button pushed. Not very intuitive!

Pretty happy with the menu system now. Time to merge in the UT Clock code.

Thanks! Great idea how to build user interface on a small display.

I try used this your code and it is working fine, except one thing - every other menu item is missing.

Doesn't matter how fast the encoder is turning. If I turn it long enough I eventually can access the missing menu items, but some times it takes over a minute.

I have thought it might be a bouncing but increasing cntSW didn't help.

Any ideas?
