Feature Request. I2C rotary encoder support. about rpieasy HOT 8 CLOSED

It has python example, but as all of it relying on adafruit own libraries it has to be rewritten completely to be used in RPIEasy.
Every rotary has an unique Attiny device integrated on it and all of them needs special cabling? Interesting approach.

Pretty sure the cabling is just standard I2C, power and ground. They use that on a lot of their stuff.

Yep with a non-standard connector

@enesbcs Would you like me to send you a device and a wiring connector? I have some on the way. Let me know.

from rpieasy.

I've ordered one just for curiosity from Eckstein, Europe.

This board even has not got a rotary encoder on it... LOL :D I hope a standard chinese EC12B will work with it.

@Budman1758 Actually 3GPIO needed, as INT pin is mandatory, but yes 8 I2C rotary encoder could be added. Works pretty fast, although i have tested it only one rotary.
Support added at commit 1bbca13

from rpieasy.

Also found a cheaper i2c rotary, which is not made by Adafruit, ordered one of them also for testing:
