typical quadrature signal

. Note that the ones you turn by hand normally have one noticable 'click' for every full cycle (phases 1-4 in the image). Whether the pins are low-active, or high-active and which pin is which is normally not important, though it can change which direction is considered 'up' and which is 'down'.

AVR code

The following code runs in a timer interrupt. Most timer frequencies will do, as long as it's fast enough to see all states in the interrupt. The code assumes a read function that reads the state of the two encoder output pins and puts them in the bottom two bits of the return value. Any two adjacent bits will do if the constant 0x02 is adapted. Do take care that timer.state in this example counts up or down for every state change, which means that the counter is increased four times for every click.

/// Timer interrupt
ISR( TIMER1_COMPA_vect)
{
	// previously seen value of encoder bits.
	static uint8_t previous = 0;

	// get the encoder state 
	uint8_t current = read(encoder);
	if (current != previous)
	{
		// there's a change, decide whether we count up or down.
		if ((previous ^ (current << 1)) & 0x02)
		{
			--timer_state.value;
		}
		else
		{
			++timer_state.value;
		}
		timer_state.value_changed = 1;

		//timer_state.value = current;
		previous = current;
	}

}

SX code

The following SX28 assembly contains two virtual pheripherals:

  • Reading a rotary encoder
  • driving 4 7-segment led displays

4x7segments 003.jpg

The main program just loops and does nothing. The first vp communicates directly with the second. This code is an adapted version (made into a vp) of sources found on sxlist.
