Hello All, I'm looking for hardware/software examples that couples an encoder with an animation.

Hello All, I’m looking for hardware/software examples that couples an encoder with an animation. The best way to describe what I’d like to do is to move a ‘spot light’ around a person jump-roping with and an LED jump-rope. While I’m agnostic as to how to solve this I’m currently playing with a Teensy 3.2, APA102 LEDs, FastLED.io, and a 16bit Magnetic encoder with SPI output.

I have a LED POI jump rope code if you would like to check it out. It uses a hall sensor and a custom gui to help bitmap the images. Let me know if it may be useful to you as I don’t be developing it any longer. It really was more of a goal of just doing it rather then taking it to market.

Umm, yes please! I’d rather not start from scratch.

maybe this gives you a start on encoder readings:

@Juergen_Bruegl I’ll look at your link tonight.
@Larry1 can you post or point me to the project you mentioned?

I shall post it for you when I get hone tonight its on my desktop .

@Juergen_Bruegl , thank you, I’ve ordered the part so I can play with your code. @Larry1 , I’m looking forward to seeing your project.

@Larry1 Any chance you can point me to the project you mentioned previously?
