Rotary encoder in place of pot


 

i intend to use rotary encoder in place of pot in raduino.

Is it possible to implement?

Anyone tried this?

Of course? possible by new software. Farhan has intended innovation of multiple parameters like slow fast , and auto tune facilities in one single pot.
? if some of us feel it? as a trouble , we can always revert back to rotary encoder and code the arduino accordingly.

It is possible to cover the whole 40m band using a multi-turn pot.
The only thing you need to do is to increase the step size from 1,000 to
10,000.
This is easily done with 100x oversampling. A small modification of the code.
I have done some experiments with the standard one-turn pot and it works
fine. Of course with a one-turn pot the tuning is quit touchy. But you can
do fine tuning (in 100Hz steps) across the entire band from 7,000 to 7,500
kHz without having to use the dreaded "fast scan" or "galopping" function.
I'm now waiting for a 10-turn pot to arrive that I ordered a few days ago.
I hope it will arrive later this week. Then I will do a final test and
share the revised raduino code on this forum. So stay tuned :))

I think there are a number of people who have done this. Go to the home web site Files section and search "Purdum" for two articles on implementing rotary encoders. That discusses using them in general terms and the second article talks about the Fast Tune method for frequency tuning.

Yes,

pretty easily imlplemented just did this over the weekend building up my bitx40. If i can find Some time i Will try document it including the hardware setup.

ps indeed this group has Some valuable pointers allready
