# rotaryDecoderSwitch
Arduino library for a PCF8574 based rotary decoder - supports 2 rotary encoders with a switch
## Description
Experimental - not tested extensively
related to https://github.com/RobTillaart/rotaryDecoder
interface is kept same as much as possible.
```cpp
// connect up to 2 rotary encoders with a switch to 1 PCF8574.
//
// RotaryEncoder PCF8574 UNO REMARKS
// -----------------------------------------------------------
// 1 pin A pin 0
// 1 pin B pin 1
// 1 switch pin 2 (switch to gnd)
// pin 3 (reserved)
// 2 pin A pin 4
// 2 pin B pin 5
// 2 switch pin 6 (switch to gnd)
// pin 7 (reserved)
//
// SDA A4
// SCL A5
//
```
Note the above mapping is sort of compatible to using the rotaryDecoder class and using device 0 and 2 only,
## Interface
- **rotaryDecoderSwitch(const int8_t address, TwoWire \*wire = Wire);** constructor to set the address and optional the Wire bus.
- **bool begin(uint8_t sda, uint8_t scl, uint8_t cnt = 2)** ESP32 ea initializes the class.
sets I2C pins.
cnt is the number of rotary encoders connected.
returns true if the PCF8574 is on the I2C bus.
- **bool begin(uint8_t cnt = 2)** UNO ea. initializes the class.
cnt is the number of rotary encoders connected.
returns true if the PCF8574 is on the I2C bus.
- **bool isConnected()** returns true if the PCF8574 is on the I2C bus.
## Core functions
- **void readInitialState()** read the inital state of the 2 rotary encoders. typically called in setup only, or after a sleep e.g. in combination with **setValue()**
- **bool checkChange()** polling to see if one or more RE have changed, without updating the counters.
- **void update()** update the internal counters of the RE, and the flags if a key is pressed. The counters will add +1 or -1 depending on direction. Need to be called before **getValue()** or before **getKeyPressed()**. Note that **update()** must be called as soon as possible after the interrupt occurs (or as often as possible when polling).
- **void updateSingle()** update the internal counters of the RE. This will add +1 +2 or +3 as it assumes that the rotary encoder only goes into a single direction.
## Counters & keypresses
- **uint32_t getValue(uint8_r re)** returns the RE counter. (re = 0 or 1).
- **void setValue(uint8_r re, uint32_t val = 0)** (re)set the internal counter to val, default 0
- **bool isKeyPressed(uint8_t re)** returns true is the switch is pressed of the RE selected (re = 0 or 1). Note one needs to call **update()** first!
## Debugging
- **int8_t getLastPosition(uint8_r re)** (re = 0 or 1).
- **int8_t getRaw()**
## Performance
As the decoder is based upon a PCF8574, a I2C device, the performance is affected by the
clockspeed of the I2C bus. All four core functions have one call to **\_read()** which is the most expensive part.
Early tests gave the following indicative times (Arduino UNO) for the **update()**
function. Note that above 500KHz the gain becomes less
while reliability of signal decreases. (500KHz is ~3x faster than 100 KHz)
| I2C speed | time (us) | delta | %% |
|:---------:|:---------:|:-----:|:-----:|
| 100 KHz | 234 | | |
| 200 KHz | 136 | 98 | 42% |
| 300 KHz | 100 | 36 | 26% |
| 400 KHz | 85 | 15 | 15% | preferred max
| 500 KHz | 78 | 7 | 8% |
| 600 KHz | 67 | 11 | 14% | (strange outlier)
| 700 KHz | 63 | 4 | 6% |
At @400KHz it can update 2 rotary encoders in less than 90 us.
At a 50% update percentage this implies a max of about
5000 **update()** calls per second in theory
**to be tested in practice**
Note that a high speed drill goes up to 30000 RPM = 500 RPS = 2000 interrupts per second,
assuming 4 pulses == 360<36>. (not tested)
## Operational
See examples..
## TODO
- think of what to do with the two "idle lines"
