High-level Python module for the KY040 rotary encoder and switch on Raspberry Pi and similar boards that use RPi.GPIO
- Increment callback
- Decrement callback
- Change callback (increment or decrement)
- Switch press callback
- Scale mode (internal counter is bound between X and Y, and is given as argument in the callback functions)
- Looped scale mode (from X to Y, then X again)
- Custom scale step
pip install pyky040
# Import the module
from pyky040 import pyky040
# Define your callback
def my_callback(scale_position):
print('Hello world! The scale position is {}'.format(scale_position))
# Init the encoder pins (CLK, DT, SW)
my_encoder = pyky040.Encoder(17, 18, 26)
# Setup the options and callbacks (see documentation)
my_encoder.setup(scale_min=0, scale_max=100, step=1, chg_callback=my_callback)
# Launch the listener
my_encoder.watch()
# Mess with the encoder...
# > Hello world! The scale position is 1
# > Hello world! The scale position is 2
# > Hello world! The scale position is 3
# > Hello world! The scale position is 2
# > Hello world! The scale position is 1
As the watch()
method runs an infinite polling loop, you might want to run it in a thread if you don't want to block the rest of your script, or if you have multiple encoders to handle.
# Import the module and threading
from pyky040 import pyky040
import threading
# Define your callback
def my_callback(scale_position):
print('Hello world! The scale position is {}'.format(scale_position))
# Init the encoder pins (CLK, DT, SW)
my_encoder = pyky040.Encoder(17, 18, 26)
# Setup the options and callbacks (see documentation)
my_encoder.setup(scale_min=0, scale_max=100, step=1, chg_callback=my_callback)
# Create the thread
my_thread = threading.Thread(target=my_encoder.watch)
# Launch the thread
my_thread.start()
# Do other stuff
print('Other stuff...')
while True:
print('Looped stuff...')
sleep(1000)
# ... this is also where you can setup other encoders!
# Mess with the encoder...
# > Infinite loop...
# > Hello world! The scale position is 1
# > Hello world! The scale position is 2
# > Hello world! The scale position is 3
# > Infinite loop...
# > Hello world! The scale position is 2
Note: The interruption of the module when running in threads is not yet handled, you might have to kill it by yourself 🔪
Initializes the module with the encoder pins.
Setup the behavior of the module. All of the following keyword arguments are optional.
-
Callbacks
inc_callback (function)
When the encoder is incremented (clockwise). Scale position as first argument.dec_callback (function)
When the encoder is decremented. Scale position as first argument.chg_callback (function)
When the encoder is either incremented or decremented. Scale position as first argument.sw_callback (function)
When the encoder switch is pressed
-
Scale mode
scale_min (int/float)
Scale minimumscale_max (int/float)
Scale maximumloop (boolean)
Loop mode (defaults toFalse
)step (int/float)
Scale step when incrementing or decrementing
Note: better keep using ints and not floats for more precise results.
Starts the listener. The pins polling interval is 1ms
.
- Customizable polling interval
- Optional switch pin
- Bounce times
