Hi EAEDEV.
I have changed the step count in /etc/audiocontrol2.conf
Bellow my rotary config:
[controller:ac2.plugins.control.rotary.Rotary]
clk = 27
dt = 17
sw = 22
step = 2

Hello,
I also have an issue with the rotary encoder and the above mentioned guide:
The proposed mentioned /data/ac2plugins is not available in HifiBerry 20201022; /data is available but not ac2plugins.
Is it okay to create it and put rotary.py into it (which access rights should be used?) or is another location more appropriate?
Kind regards

The plugin already comes with the latest versions of HiFiBerryOS. You don't need to install it separately.
Okay,
so far so good. I edited /etc/audiocontrol.conf and uncommented the lines to enable to rotary encoder:
[controller:ac2.plugins.control.rotary.Rotary]
clk = 23
dt = 24
sw = 25
step = 5
The issue now is that the sound is muted when turning the rotary encoder; this means:
Sound is on --> encoder is turned by one step --> sound is off ---> encoder is turned by one step --> sound is one (same volume as before).
Is this a effect of that above listed values? I can send pictures of my installation if necessary.
Kind regards

Could be that the library used for this has problems with some GPIOs. You might try the GPIOs that are used in the example on Github
It's also possible that one of the GPIOs your using is already in use:
https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/hardware/gpio-usage-of-hifiberry-boards/
I'm following this guide: https://github.com/hifiberry/audiocontrol2/blob/master/doc/rotary-controller-plugin.md
Here's a picture of the installation:
Sure, if you connect CLK to the MUTE GPIO, it will mute the Amp. You need to use unused GPIOs.
Okay, so you propose not to use GPIO7 for MUTE as explained in the guide under GitHub.
In which file can I change to GPIO configuration for the rotary.py module?
Kind regards

You posted the configuration file by yourself:

I think I know what you want to say:
Did I understand this correctly?

Sounds about right.
Yes, it works now as expected. Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I'm also using AMP2. Followed this instructions, I managed to work rotary encoder. But rotary encoder works this way:
- rotating clockwise decreases volume
- rotating counterclockwise increases volume.
Is it possible to set rotary encoder to in opposite way: rotating clockwise should increase volume, rotating counterclockwise should decrease volume?
Just switch the CLK and DT pins (or switch it in the configuration)
It works! Thanks.
Hi!
Could you please save an audio increasing or decreasing volume? I would like to check it you have an small stop in sound as I have.
Thank you in advance
Hi, I'm ver new with SSH. I really don't get (https://github.com/hifiberry/audiocontrol2/blob/master/doc/rotary-controller-plugin.md guide. It says "Once you have configured the plugin, you need to put into one of the directories in audiocontrol's PYTHONPATH If you're using HiFiBerryOS, we recommend to put it into /data/ac2plugins. Don't put it into /opt/... as these files will be lost on the next update." How can I get access to that directory?
Same here as with Tapani alho - is there video about the process?
Can I just copy and paste the code once logged in the Hifiberry via SSH?
thank you very much
