The Rotary Encoder project demonstrates how to interface a rotary encoder with an Arduino Mega to detect rotational movements and button presses. Rotary encoders are useful for applications where precise rotational control or user input is required.
- Arduino Mega
- Rotary Encoder
- Jumper Wires
- Connecting the Rotary Encoder to Arduino Mega:
- CLK_PIN: Connected to digital pin 2 on the Arduino Mega.
- DT_PIN: Connected to digital pin 3 on the Arduino Mega.
- SW_PIN: Connected to digital pin 4 on the Arduino Mega.
- +V and GND: Connected to 5V and GND on the Arduino Mega respectively.
-
Code Upload:
- Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
- Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
- Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.
-
Testing:
- Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud).
- Rotate the rotary encoder clockwise and counterclockwise.
- Press the encoder switch to see "Switch pressed!" messages.
- Menu Selection: Use the encoder for navigating menus.
- Volume Control: Adjust audio volume based on encoder rotation.
- User Input: Capture user input for parameter adjustments.
- Interrupts: Use of interrupts ensures accurate detection of encoder movements without missing steps.
- Debounce: A debounce delay is used to avoid false triggering of the encoder switch.
