Hi all, I am trying to implement interrupts on the A and B pins of a rotary encoder. I can't find any documentation on this, help please.

Toit doesn't give direct access to interrupts. If you just want to wait for a pin to change you would generally use
I think the pulse_counter library is what you are looking for: https://libs.toit.io/pulse_counter/library-summary

That peripheral automatically counts pulses for you. I'm not too familiar with rotary encoders, though. So maybe that doesn't work.

Mmm, rotary encoders rely on the relationship of Pin A and Pin B. There are usually four possible stable states. which indicate the direction of rotation.

I will try the pulse counter as I have an upcoming project anyway.
floitsch 04/18/2023 07:50 AM
The pulse counter has one pin to count and another as control pin for the direction.

Ok, that may work, i'll investigate.
