W8TEE Software Release 1.07-10 to Remove digitalWriteFast library
|
Jack Purdum
I've uploaded a new version that removes the digitalWriteFast library for anyone who is having issues with it.

That¡¯s where I got the file. Mike, WB8VGE > On Oct 2, 2017, at 6:09 PM, Vince Vielhaber <vev@...> wrote: > > How old is your digitalWriteFast library??

What encoder and what are the symtoms? Jack, W8TEE From: Mike Bryce <prosolar@...> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 2, 2017 8:55 PM Subject: Re: [BITX20] W8TEE Software Release 1.07-10 to Remove digitalWriteFast library Jack, That fixed the problem on this end. No compile errors now. The only issue I have now is a flaky encoder. Mike, Wb8VGE |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt¡¯s one of those cheap encoders off eBay.It simply won¡¯t tune correctly. It¡¯s like the digits change only with 2 or 3 clicks. Or jumps from 7.012 to 7.290 with a few clicks I¡¯ve installed the .01 caps If I push the switch, I can step through the various menus and select what I need.? I¡¯ve got some other encoders, haven¡¯t tried them yet. I¡¯m suspecting it¡¯s a fubar encoder

That worries me, as I'm using the cheap KY-040 encoder myself but it performs flawlessly for me. Anyone else having issues?

Mike: This is a kludge, but try this (new lines in yellow): at line 1574 add: ?? static int passCounter = 0; add these lines between 1593-1594: ??? 1593????? if (encoderDirection) { ??????????????????? passCounter++;??????????????????????? // Got a speedbump ??????????????????? if (passCounter < 2) {????????????????// Double-speedbump yet? ??????????????????????? break;????????????????????????????????????// Nope... ??????????????????? } else { ??????????????????????? passCounter = 0;????????????????? // Yep... ??????????????????? } ??? 1594 ?????? if ((unsigned long) (fasttuneStart - fasttuneEnd) < DEFAULTTRIGGER) {??? // They're spinning fast... I can't test this right now, but give it a shot and see what happens.

I feel two 'clicks' and with every two clicks, the display moves on digit. 7.021.6 turn two clicks 7.021.5 push the switch button, and I can step though the menus, change keyer speed (it's jumpy, too) and back to freq display mike, wb8vge |

Jack,
found some time to get the code snipet in place compiled without errors however, same result. for every two clicks, the digits move. same thing with the sw1-SW3 buttons. two clicks changes the messages WPM is a bit odd, my default is 22 turn one click and speed goes to 220 wpm. Like this: push button until WPM is selected. rotate encoder on click, speed jumps to 221, reverse the encoder, and wpm will go down until it hits 119 wpm then jumps to 20 wpm. I'm going to try another encoder mike wb8vge |

Dollar to a donut that it's because the setCursor() function has the X coordinate wrong. Look in loop() where the display is updates and mess around with the X coordinate. What it is doing is printing one digit character too far to the right: ?? WPM: 22????????? // Original value ?? WPM: 221 ?????? // New value 21 -printed one digit char too far to the right. This is because I can't test the spacing on all displays. Could erase the entire field and redraw, but you might get flickering then.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDifferent encoders have different numbers of ¡°steps per rotation.¡± Some are 12, some are 24. The software has to deal with each differently. If you¡¯re having to turn two clicks for one software step, it sounds like Jack has a 24 and you have a 12.? -Mark On Oct 2, 2017, at 9:47 PM, Mike Bryce <prosolar@...> wrote:

Actually, it depends on how the library interprets the pulse chain. It is true that different encoders have difference steps per rotation, but quadrature encoders send out four pulse from the library, so only two, and some one. IF your encoder sends out "double pulses", simply create a static int counter variable and don't return a direction value until two pulses have been read.

OK see if you can follow this
Initial pwr I get 20 WPM displayed all the other displays correct. Click on SW1 and I can scroll thru the msgs (turning the knob)...all 9 of em Click on SW2 and the msgs scroll as soon as you make one click on the encoder....and they keep scrolling until you hit SW3 Click on SW3 and I can scroll thru the msgs just like SW1 Frequency changes no problem click to WPM and the display might go to 3 digits or you can twist the knob 10 times before it moves 1 or 10 or 100 And most of the time the SW's don't have the right messages numbers displayed I can't get the WPM to work again....it does once an a while can't find a pattern Did this on USB power and my 12 volt ps. what da ya think Jack ??? don |

The 7.6-7.9V is correct. I've asked Farrukh to correct the schematic and I've asked for the file, but so far, no response from him.

Will check that out when I get back home this afternoon, don |

Don: To disable the Autoscroll feature on SW2...okay, my bad...it's a bug. Insert the following line: ????????? encoderDirection = 0; between lines 1675 and 1676. I will do a new release later, but it may not be until after I get back from vacation.

I can't reproduce the WPM bug and mine SW fields do display the last-selected messages.\ Jack, W8TEE From: Jack Purdum via Groups.Io <jjpurdum@...> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 9:39 PM Subject: Re: [BITX20] W8TEE Software Release 1.07-10 to Remove digitalWriteFast library This makes no sense.
