EP9 – How to Program Arduino – Make This Knob for AS5600 module

This is a companion episode for my last episode (EP8), where I showed how to make a custom class for the AS5600 rotary position sensor, and then integrate it into a menu with settings. In this episode I will show you how to make the knob that featured in that episode. This knob requires very few parts as it is mostly 3D printed, and it also includes 2 buttons configured to provide 3 actions, all accessible from a single rotating knob.

If you want the files to make this knob, then please see the link below:

This is the ninth episode in a series where I will be providing some practical lessons on how to write programs using Arduino. These lessons are intended to be useful information that you can use in your own code immediately, but I also hope it serves as a general lesson to get you thinking about how to write code better.

Please see 3D print settings below for the various parts. Do not use a raft, and try to avoid using a brim if you can. If you do use a brim, then make sure you clean it off properly.
