Rotary encoder - jmj - 2020-11-23 How about adding support for a rotary encoder in tinypilot, like on the Furuno 711 or Simrad AP48 ? RE: Rotary encoder - seandepagnier - 2020-11-23 i don't know how it works in furuno or simrad, but would this encoder rotate in both directions with clicks and also be able to press like a button? What would pressing do? Same as auto button engage disengaged? Or menu button? Or a hybrid of these functions? Do you have a specific part? It's difficult to make these waterproof. I have made the buttons programmable from the web, and now with the new hat design there are 15 pins for buttons, so certainly could allow assigning a rotary encoder to 2 or 3 inputs, but it needs this as a special option to decode the inputs correctly counting steps and direction. RE: Rotary encoder - jmj - 2020-11-23 I think most rotary encoders work the same way - 2 pulse trains when rotated, each click is one pulse, and the phase determines direction. Pressing could be optional, and used as an ordinary button. I agree that waterproofing would be difficult, but in many cases that is not a big problem - since not all installations need to be waterproof. Here is a part from ebay; https://www.ebay.com/itm/KY-040-Encoder-Rotary-Encoder-Rotary-Encoder-Module-2020-Developments-R2Y9-H4D2/264849901113?hash=item3daa48c639:g:wJAAAOSwphNfTZJ1 RE: Rotary encoder - MattMadison - 2023-07-25 great idea, i also think that a rotarty control would be an awesome option :-) great to steer with the AP engaged :-) the rotary control also would be a nice menu control with push to select. waterproofing necessary... the blink marine powertrack looks nice: https://blinkmarine.com/products/powertrack/ but expensive and so on...
