Rotary Switch and Inputs

[jon]

I need to make use of a rotary encoder with switch on a PIC16F1788 to select 3 inputs.

I’m new to this kind of switches, so

I think I will make use of this rotary encoder with switch:

They have 5 Pins but how this work to get 20 positions is a question for me. I think this must be done in the software but how I don’t know.

I have looked in the Inputs section from FlowCode but I can’t find. Maybe I must buy an extra pack but this I don’t know.

How must I proceed and how does this work ?

Hello,

Looks like you could use that with the quadrature encoder component, combined with a switch component if you want the button click. The pin out suggests otherwise but the Arduino site it sends you to suggests it outputs a standard quadrature signal.

Can I use quadrature encoder component for simple rotary encoder module and basic push switch for rotary switch input?

Hi Jon,

Yes that should be fine.
