GPIO rotary volume

[acris]

@dh04000
good news , may be to make a complete tutorial ? please

[dh04000]

@acris

Ok. What form should it be in? A google document, typed into this forum thread, a new forum thread, something else?

Also, how do I do those cool code windows?

@dh04000 @acris the articld could be written directly in the wiki?
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Mini-How-To-(EN)

[acris]

In the wiki

[dh04000]

@acris I'm still interested in writing a how-to use this script, but I don't know how to write to the wiki. Can I just send someone a google document with the how-to in it?

EDIT: Also @Substring once I wrote the how-to, would you mind checking it with your system since you also have a rotary encoder?

[acris]

No problem make google docs and a modo add your document on wiki.

[Substring]

@dh04000 mine is not plugged hahaha

the wiki syntax is farily simple, you even have a WYSIWYG bar to edit

[dh04000]

Done: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15gvyNhxF_knimoVxYE0X3E4Fe1n_DSU06Wli_QtnwxE/pub

@Substring @acris @lackyluuk It needs some minor editing work for the wiki. I put comments in blue on what needs to be done.

[dh04000]

I started editing the wiki, but I'm not good at it.... Also, please test those copy/paste instructions. I haven't had a chance to try it on my machine yet.

[acris]

Great !!! thanks a lot @dh04000

[dh04000]

@acris It's not done. I don't know how to add the text box with the script. Also, I want to show how to increase the rate of volume change, and change min and max of the script in the tweaks section. Which I still have to write. Got to test it on my machine first. Also, I need someone to test my instructions and verify that it works as intended.

@dh04000 you add code in 2 ways (wirks the same on the forum :

• either as a "span" lile this between back quotes
• either as a block

Like this

Between a pair of triple back quotes. But beware, you must start a new line after each triplet of back quotes. So my block above looks like :
3 back quotes without spaces
Like this
3 back quotes without spaces
Please note that on github you can specify which language is used in a code block. You just need to add the language name right after the opening triplet, say :
3 back quotes python
Like this
3 back quotes

The wiki langiage nme is known as markdown, and github has an advanced markdown for code

@Substring

I'm trying to do this --> http://imgur.com/a/C7zRl

Edit modo :

test

test

[Substring]

@dh04000 Added the python code. You can't do as in the source because it's a gist using several files

[dh04000]

@Substring

Thank you! Now all I have to do is to point out, in the Tweaks section, how to change the gpio, volume increments, and volume range in the script, and the guide is complete.

[Substring]

@dh04000 Thank you very much for your contribution

[dh04000]

@Substring No probs. Thank you and the other Recalbox Mods/Devs for the helping make this work! There is still one more issue though, I need independent verification that this guide works as I wrote it. Would you be able to test it with your rotary encoder?

[Substring]

@dh04000 not before a long time, the main focus for now is fixing bugs for the stable 4.1

[dh04000]

@Substring A long time has indeed passed. Congrats on the 4.1 release! I've been successfully using this gpio program on my arcade machine for the last 5 months. Would you be willing to test the guide I wrote up with your rotary encoder and verify it? I want to finalize my guide in-case someone else wants to set up their own rotary encoder.
