Paul, Chill, and others here, I finally debugged my encoder issues, so let me share to pass knowledge and experiences: As with a lot of difficult problems it had multiple issues. First the audio card that exposes Raspi pins , has bad documentation, so pushing me to use the wrong BCM numbers in the sbpd init. Second , The rotary controllers I have , are not all the same; especially the hardware resistors on the module board do interfere with the default used here ( pull-up software resistors and ti to ground switches.) Using the 3V3 on the appropriate pin helps to get reliable levels on the output pins. This is why Chill might not have experienced it. I recognise his module in the photo. Third, it seems the borrowed script should not be started over and over again with new sbpd lines. I have not looked into the issue, but if just started once from boot it does produce the expected results, if ran for the 10th or so time, the correct settings give different results. But Hey! I got trough , and have 3 working sets now. Thank you for providing the info in this thread. Last ; On the sensitivity of the controllers, I believe there is a difference in the amount of physical clicks and contact logical cycles. So 1 perceived click might very well be 2 or more steps measured by sbpd. I read that before , but can't find that source right now.
