Introduction¶
Pretend to be rotaryio
for boards that need non-sequential pins.
On RP2040-based boards like the Raspberry Pi Pico and QTPy RP2040,
if you try to use “rotaryio”
on pins whose GPIO numbers are not sequential, you will get a
RuntimeError: Pins must be sequential GPIO pins
.
This package acts just like rotaryio
but uses keypad
and some logic to read a rotary encoder.
It is not as fast or efficient as rotaryio
but it will work on RP2040 boards.
Dependencies¶
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle or individual libraries can be installed using circup.
Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup¶
Make sure that you have circup
installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:
pip3 install circup
With circup
installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:
circup install ruhrohrotaryio
Or the following command to update an existing version:
circup update
Installing from PyPI¶
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install circuitpython-ruhrohrotaryio
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install circuitpython-ruhrohrotaryio
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install circuitpython-ruhrohrotaryio
Usage Example¶
import os
import time
import board
# works on both QTPY M0 and QTPY RP2040
if os.uname().machine.find("rp2040") > 0: # RP2040
from ruhrohrotaryio import IncrementalEncoder
else:
from rotaryio import IncrementalEncoder
encoder = IncrementalEncoder( board.A3, board.A1 )
while True:
print(encoder.position)
time.sleep(0.1)
