Read Encoder status

What is the right Procedure call to read the Encoder status?
Trying to activate 2 lights depending on the encoder status.

Thanks!

Hi Ferry,

as i know it doesn’t exist a procedure for the request. But you can find some examples in the board how to realize a time based query of the encoder state.
Here is an example from Torben, i guess:

[code]procedure OnLoad;

begin
EnableTimer(1000);
end;

procedure OnTimer;
begin
if Encoder.GetConnections.GetItem(0).GetState = ecsConnected then
begin
…
end
else
begin
…
end;
end;

begin
end.[/code]

the source you can find here. they discussed and improved the script to handle more than one encoder for example.

Thanks Lord_Femto

Got it running, I did not used the OnTimer procedure so id did not work before.
