EBlocks Rotary Encoder....

[Sparkoids]

Hi guys,

Wikipedia is too vague and datasheets too descriptive so can anyone help please!

1. Do rotary encoders spin "endlessly" round and round or do they have a "stop" position like a normal potentiometer?
2. Some rotary encoders are described as 6 step or 16 step. I am right to assume that is the number of steps in a single rotation - effectively the resolution of the encoder?

Onto Flowcode.

3. Do the EB073 test files work correctly in Flowcode 5?

(On mine neither of the files works - I assume that in Test 1 by turning the encoders in simulation changes the numbers on the LCD up and down but it doesn't!)

That's about it so far for rotary encoders!

Best regards,


James :-}

Hi James,

1) They spin endlessly around
2) i beleive so yes

3) Quad encoders do not simulate at the moment within Flowcode, but the examples should work in hardware.
