Re: what would cause the secondary encoder to stop working

Re: what would cause the secondary encoder to stop working
i'll look at it with a scope later, but just to let you know that was my first thought was a possible bad encoder, as it didn't recognize the turns very well (skipped).. so another one plugged in, and

Re: what would cause the secondary encoder to stop working
Are you saying it doesn't work at all, or just in the setup section? We've had two bad encoders lately and Al just found one that gives pulses that are too short. Can you put the encoder on a scope?

Re: Initial Tests
Looks nice! Yes the 3.3V gets very toasty. I bought a bunch of these from Arrow: made by Fischer Elektronik SK104-25.4-STS They're less that $2 each. Arrow only has 1 left when I checked. Jack, W8TEE

Initial Tests
Just wanted to say that my initial tests with just the JackAl board and display went very well. No magic smoke but the 3.3 V Reg. does get a little warm- even with a 4 inch heat sink.? 73, Guy WB7SZI

Re: display
Have you read the manual? Looking at the screen, perhaps Setup might be promising. Read the manual...it took weeks to write it, so you may want to read it. Jack, W8TEE

I just reread what you said. Did you put it in the splash() code or setup()? It belongs at the top of setup(). Jack, W8TEE
