How do I connect the rotary encoder ?


 

Hi!

My rotary encoder has 5 pins as follow;?

CLK
DT
SW
?+?
GND


How do I connect that to the VFO board ? pins 17 thru 24 (yellow headers )


Thanks in advance.

Never mind, I found the answer to my question while reading another post. For some reason I wasn't clear after reading the QST instructions, figure A11.?


Switch:? Pin 17

Clock: Pin 22 (D3)

Data: Pin 18 (D2)

GND: grounf

+: 5vdc

First, download Farrukh's document:



and look at the encoder on the schematic:

'D' on the schematic is the data line, or DT. Now follow it to J1. What pin is it connected to?
'G' on the schematic is the GND line, or GND. Now follow it to J1. What pin is it connected to?
'C' on the schematic is the clock line, or CLK. Now follow it to J1. What pin is it connected to?
'S1' on the schematic has one side connected to ground, but the side (SW) is connected to J1. What pin is it connected to?
'+' ?connects to 5V, so it could be pin 7, 8, 9, or 10 on J1.

If you make the connections from the encoder to J1 as the schematic tells you, what happens?
