Rotary Encoder with Push Switch

The MCB40A rotary encoder with push switch accessory can be connected to CN7 on the TFT module.  The rotary encoder can be used to control a predefined variable (ENCVAL1 OR ENCVAL2) which when used in functions can control numerous events such as scrolling through a list to incrementing a value. The additional push switch on the MCB40A allows for a function to be called on the key press allowing for the rotary encoder to act as a menu select control where you can scroll through a list and press the switch to select an item.
Each rotary encoder uses 5 pins allowing for two separate MCB40A to be connected to a single 10 way IDC cable.

Rotary Encoder Setup

 
SETUP(ENC)
  {
  active = 1/2/12; // N=none active, 1=enc1 active, 2 = enc2 active, 12 = both active
  a1 = \\xx; // port number for enc1 A channel
  b1 = \\xx; // port number for enc1 B channel
  a2 = \\xx; // port number for enc2 A channel
  b2 = \\xx; // port number for enc2 B channel
  debounce1 = n; // debounce time in ms for enc1 (1 - 100ms)
  debounce2 = n; // debounce time in ms for enc2 (1 - 100ms)
  timeout1 = n; // timeout period in ms for enc1 (1 - 1000ms)
  timeout2 = n; // timeout period in ms for enc2 (1 - 1000ms)
  mode1 = n; // encoder type (1 or 2) for enc1
  mode2 = n; // encoder type (1 or 2) for enc2
  }



Connection and Pinout Example for Connecting Two Rotary Encoders  

To use one ribbon cable with two Rotary Encoders you will need to set up a ribbon cable as pictured below.
You will then need to connect the first MCB40A to the connector on the right (picture below) this rotary encoder will use K01,K03,K05,K07,K09
The second MCB40A will need to be inverted, in the picture the ribbon cable has been twisted to do this.
(the ridge on the left connector will need to be removed so that it can plug into the MCB40A) this MCB40A will use K00,K02,K04,K06,K08.
You will then need to connect the top connector to CN7 from K00-K09. 

Below is an example code and pinout for two rotary encoders on a single 10 way IDC cable connected to the K00-K09 using the ribbon cable as pictured above.

  High Low Port A Port B Switch
MCB40A (1) K01 K05 K09 K03 K07
MCB40A (2) K08 K04 K00 K06 K02

Example Code

  SETUP(KEYIO) {active=\\0003ff; inp = \\000084; trig = \\000084; edge = \\000000; }

  SETUP(ENC)
      {
      active = 12; // N=none active, Y or 1=enc1 active, 2 = enc2 active, 12 = both active
      a1 = \\09; // port number for enc1 A channel 
      b1 = \\03; // port number for enc1 B channel
      a2 = \\00; // port number for enc2 A channel 
      b2 = \\06; // port number for enc2 B channel
      debounce1 = 2; // debounce time in ms for enc1 (1 - 100ms)
      debounce2 = 2; // debounce time in ms for enc2 (1 - 100ms)
      mode1 = 1; // encoder type (1 or 2) for enc1
      mode2 = 1; // encoder type (1 or 2) for enc2
      }

   LOAD(K01,1);
   LOAD(K08,1);

    INT(change1, ENC1, fnc1);
