Steamypete Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hello, I have a question for anyone familiar with leo bodnar boards and rotary encoders. My buttons and switches connected to the board all seem to work fine. But my new rotary encoders behave strangely. I have wired them to B1-GND-B2 and used the encoder software utility to B1B2 behaviour to 1:1 with a pulse width of 80ms. Hower when i turn the encoder CW the signal given to the board alternates between B1 and B2 instead of continuous B1-B1. When turning the encoder CCW the signal does B2-B1 instead of B2-B2. Can someone guess what I am doing wrong? I hope i explained it clearly. I have tried everything but cannot seem to get it to work. Maybe i bought the wrong rotary encoders? But I hope its just me missing some knowledge and being stupid. Thanks for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegrngo Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I had something similar, try a different encoder setting. Failing that, try flashing the Bodnar board with the latest firmware, I had one that needed that in order to get it working Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Just finished my own project using BU controller and rotaries work fine. Are you sure you wired the diodes (correctly)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
