Hello to all .
I would like to control a digital pot MAX-5484 , 1024 STEPS, 50K , with a BOURNS incremental encoder PEC-11R. I made a demo code to move the wiper of pot step by step in directions up/down with a pulse. According to PEC-11R data sheet with 1 pulse wiper moves 1 step of 1024. In my case, with 1 pulse, wiper of pot moves more steps, 10 or more. I was checked the pulse , I put an RC filter to A , B outputs of encoder, but the problem remains. Is there a mistake in code or anything else? I use a PIC 16F685 . Encoder outputs A,B connected on B.6 and B.7 . CS, INC , UP/DN of digital pot connected at C.5,C.4,C.3 .
thanks in advance.

hi Silvestros599

Cannot look at your flowcode files at the moment unfortunaltley i would check that each test file works on its own.
Did the pot work correctly ? are you using the control pins or SPI ?

I made a LCD contrast adjust with a digital pot a while ago,

and inputting text from an encoder, this was jumping also , 407charles post worked for me

Hope these posts help

Hello,

The encoders usually have 4 transition edges per click and so a single click could be generating a lot more count values then you think. The encoder component has a divide by 4 property that might help to get the count more as expected.
