Hello!
I've been working on a button box, and I'm using four EC11 encoders as part of a button matrix (I have several other buttons on said box). I know how to solder, but electronic circuits, well, that's not my forte.
I've had the same old problem that many have had: upon using one side of the encoder, both sides are activated in quick succession. I've looked at many threads (notably here) and Wotever has hinted that since they have no resistors, that's to be expected. I tried editing the controller's milliseconds from 1 to 100, with the same result.
I don't have room on my Arduino Micro to have dedicated pins for encoders (8 out of 49 inputs on a grid is far more manageable), so I'm looking for a solution.
1. Is it possible to somehow have a "pullup resistor" equivalence on the button matrix?
2. If not, what resistance would I need, and how would I need to wire resistors given that it's a button matrix?
3. I guess I could use a second Arduino Micro if it's really not possible to fit it all on one Arduino. Would it be possible to somehow wire/solder/daisychain them so that only a single cable exits the button box?
