Encoder example

The encoder sensor device has to be connected to the sensor module. Encoder sensor device has a two 3,5 mm plugs what has to be connected to the sensor module 3,5 mm input jackets. The controller and sensor modules must be connected.

The jackets must be inserted to the right input. Four channel input to D jacket (right) and three channel input to the A jacket(left).

Needed libraries

lib_deps = ITTIoT, ClickEncoder

The example code will print out and send to the broker encoder’s current position value. The value increases when rotating in one direction and decreases when rotating in another direction. Additionally, the encoder wheel has a switch, and if it is pushed, then the message will be sent to the serial port.
