| rotary encoder |

This is a rotary encoder. I want to use this device for increasing and decreasing value hardware, for example volume control.
Any suggestions ?
Thx in advance! Excuse my bad english! |

Do a search here for 'quadrature encoder'. Use 'search for all terms'. Many examples.
There are slightly different answers according to a number of factors:
1) Do you want to encode just the individual edges, or all four sub-states?.
2) How fast is the shaft going to spin?.
3) How many lines/rev is the encoder?.
4) What PIC?.
Some of the more complex PIC's have a 'QEI' module that does this directly.
For high speed, on the more basic PIC's, a little external decoding can be added and the CCP modules can then be used to read the counts. Microchip has an application note on this.
At slower speed, basic polling can be used.
For reasonably high speed, carefully 'tweaked' interrupt code, using the interrupt-on-change, can support rates up to perhaps 1/100th the CPU clock rate.

Here's a code snippet that's at the beginning of an infinite loop. I hope this will give you an idea.
| Code: |
n = input(PHASE_A);
if ((Last_phaseA == FALSE) && (n == TRUE))
{
if (input(PHASE_B) == FALSE)
Pos = (Pos+1)%FONT_HI_DEX; // (CW rotation)
else
Pos = (Pos+FONT_HI_DEX-1)%FONT_HI_DEX; // (CCW)
}
Last_phaseA = n;
user_letter = Pos; |

I always use code like this (for 2 motors with encoder) :

int CONST ENC_STATUS[16] = { ENC_NC , ENC_RIGHT, ENC_LEFT , ENC_JUMP,

Each encoder uses one byte for his state (Mx_ENC_STAT). In this byte there are the last encoder state (2 Bits), the new encoder state (2 Bits) and the information of the state (4 Bits - No change, Left, Right, Error). The Sub encoder() has to be called in a timer interrupt. For good results the frequency of calling the sub has to be min. 3-4 times higher than the maximum frequency of the encoder.
