rotaryio

Support for reading rotation sensors

The rotaryio module contains classes to read different rotation encoding schemes. See Wikipedia’s Rotary Encoder page for more background. .. warning:: This module is not available in some SAMD21 (aka M0) builds. See the Support Matrix for more info.

All classes change hardware state and should be deinitialized when they are no longer needed if the program continues after use. To do so, either call deinit() or use a context manager. See Lifetime and ContextManagers for more info.

class rotaryio.IncrementalEncoder(pin_a: microcontroller.Pin, pin_b: microcontroller.Pin)

IncrementalEncoder determines the relative rotational position based on two series of pulses.

position :Any

The current position in terms of pulses. The number of pulses per rotation is defined by the specific hardware.

deinit(self)

Deinitializes the IncrementalEncoder and releases any hardware resources for reuse.

__enter__(self)

No-op used by Context Managers.

__exit__(self)

Automatically deinitializes the hardware when exiting a context. See Lifetime and ContextManagers for more info.
