Entering numerical values for rotary encoders

yuuki

I am using a rotary encoder.

When I use a rotary encoder to change a value, if there are many digits, I have to turn the dial many times to set the desired value.

For example, is it possible to temporarily increase the speed when the dial is turned faster?

This is a very nice library. Thank you very much.

Hi there,

I think large number support would help out here.

Instead of rotating through a large number of values, instead, you can edit one digit at a time.

Just select "Large Number" instead of "Analog" as the menu type.

You can then deal with the resulting value as either two 32 bit integers for whole and fraction, or you can convert it into a floating-point. See: https://www.thecoderscorner.com/products/arduino-libraries/tc-menu/menu-item-types/largenum-menu-item/

It does have acceleration BTW, but once you get much over a thousand it starts to get difficult to accelerate enough for that. That's why we added large numbers.

Thanks for the advice.
I finished what I wanted to make.
