Public Method getRotaryEncoderValue

static byte getRotaryEncoderValue()

Throws:

• IOException

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Returns	Range	Description
value	-128 ... 127	measured encoder values within the timeout period

A positive or negative value is returned by the getRotaryEncoderValue() method. The returned value depends on the direction and the speed of the encoder movement and also on the adjusted period (setRotaryEncoderPeriod(int)). The returned value will be greater if the encoder is turned faster. This counts for positive returned values when the encoder is moved in one direction. A negative value will be provided if the encoder is moved in the other direction. In this case the value will be smaller if the encoder is moved faster.

• The rotary encoder must be enabled within the 'Settings' of the development environment.
• The encoder is disabled by default. It can be enabled or disabled by the setRotaryEncoderEnabled(boolean) method.

Example

  byte value = IO.getRotaryEncoderValue();

IO.setRotaryEncoderPeriod(int)
IO.setRotaryEncoderEnabled(boolean)
IO.setRotaryEncoderReportingEnabled(boolean)
