PoKeys configuration software usage
To enable encoder input on the selected pin, define the pin as digital input, switch to
‘Encoders/Counters’ tab, select encoder index with numerical up-down selector and select
appropriate encoder channel. The last step is to check the box ‘Encoder’.
To assign a key combination associated with the encoder, use the same procedure as described in
the ‘Digital inputs and outputs’ section.
Enabling fast encoders
To enable fast encoders, go to menu 'Peripherals > Fast encoders settings’, then check ‘Enable fast
encoders’ option. There are additional options for inverting the encoders’ directions, disabling 4x
step multiplication and enabling the index signal on pins 9, 10 and 11. If index signal input is enabled,
encoder value is automatically reset on low to high index signal transition.
Fast encoders inputs are fixed to pins 1-2 for fast encoder 1, pins 5-6 for fast encoder 2 and pins 15-
16 for fast encoder 3.
Enabling ultra-fast encoders
To enable ultra-fast encoders, go to menu 'Peripherals > Fast encoders settings’, then check ‘Enable
ultra-fast encoders’ option. There are additional options to enable 4x step multiplication and
inverting the encoder direction. Digital filter sampling delay slider enables setting the digital filter
delay parameter - leftmost position equates to no digital filtering, rightmost position equates to
digital filtering with filter delay constant set to 1000 (sampling frequency reduced to less than 25
kHz).
Displaying encoder raw values
To open encoder raw values dialog, go to Peripherals menu and select ‘Encoder RAW values’. The
following dialog below appears. It simply shows the list of all encoders and their current values. In
additional column, current encoder speed is displayed.
Status of the fast encoders is displayed in green, while the status of an ordinary encoder is displayed
in light grey. Inactive encoders are displayed as dark grey boxes.
At the bottom of the window, there is a command button that can be used to reset the encoders’
values.
