i2cencoder Encoder button pushed?

Hi! I just started working with the i2c rotary encoder. The first question is: How can I determin if the pushbutton is (still) pressed and released?

Thx and kind regards

Hi! I'm sorry but the push button is detectable only when is pushed. Is not possible to detect when is released or the current status.

Thanks for your answer! I reviewed the schematic and connected a GPIO of my arduino to the pushbutton pin (see picture below). Now I can use readStatus(E_PUSH) as a filtered trigger from the FW and listen to the GPIO to get the state. It's a bit disappointing that there's no other way to recognise the state of the pushputton.

Kind regards 2018-07-20 10 59 53

Hello, Nice job!

If you have a programmer for the PIC MCU you can modify the FW and add that feature, i can help for that. Actually before no one asked this feature, this is why i didn't implemented. Thanks for the suggestion

Hi,

I would love to, but I have no experience in programming PICs in MPLAB X IDE. I‘m just happy to be able to program Arduinos and ESPs in plattform.io. And I have no experience in JTAG programmer, if this is what‘s needed.. I‘m sorry to be a noob -.-
