Encoder Sensitivity

Hey all,

Just finished putting my lighthack box together, and once I tested it out I noticed it take around 3 "clicks" while spinning an encoder to move a unit 1 degree. While everything is working, I was hoping there was a way to up the sensitivity so I wouldn't have to rotate the encoder so many times to make larger moves. Essentially, the fine button is almost unnecessary at the moment!

Thanks!

Hi grthorn,

This is quite simple to adjust - you'll need to modify the Arduino code. Take a look at the constants PAN_SCALE and TILT_SCALE defined on lines 107 and 108 of box_1_src.ino. Change "1" for each to a higher integer to make the encoders more coarse.

Best,

Sam
