360° Turntable - Rotary Encoder Bouncing

Community help with my project
#1

Hey Guys,

my name is Ben and this is my first post here. Hope you guys can help me with a little problem.

I just build the electronics part of the 360° photo turntable . Here is a Link to the project:

Everything is working so far, except of one little thing. The selection of the menu items using the rotary encoder is not working well. Most of the time the Arduino dosn’t detect the menu change, when I’m spinning the encoder. I already looked into rotary encoder debouncing, but since I’m new to C and the Arduino IDE, I got a hard time figuring out where and how to implement the debouncing correctly.

In short: I want to know, how and where I can implement rotary encoder debouncing and what method is “best practise” .

thx in advance
Ben

EDIT: I’m using a KY-040 Rotary Encoder. Like this

Hi Ben

Could you share the code you have so far so we can point out where that should be? It doesn’t need to be the entire project, unless you don’t mind sharing all of the code.

Thanks
