Rotary 2p encoder

[Retroman839]

Got this 2p rotary encoder ..
How do I connect this to a pc ?
It’s consolidating outputs to just the 2 outputs assuming this is mame in mind for dial

But to interface to the pc how do I connect them outputs …
I.e. ipac / Jpac / etc?
Appreciate a little help with this tried looking on line at the Jpac / ipac I have and can’t see the left & right inputs anywhere ?

Yes either ipac jpac etc. 5v and ground, 12 pin cable plus ground goes to your joystick. Cw1 and ccw1 goes to ipac.

Thanks Sam
Any button slot im not using ok ? B5 & B6 I’m thinking?

I get it I think now
It’s just one normal key stroke at this point só can be any command position on the Jpac.

I was looking for a dedicated pick up for dial assuming it would still be analogue ! Doh
Of course this is handled by the small pcb rotary encoder!

Excellent 😁😁

Anywhere on the ipac other than 5v and ground. You would map it just like a joystick. Mame sees it as z and x I think when mapping controls like Ikari Warriors etc.

cw1= clockwise
ccw1= counter clockwise

Yeh I think it’s just a key stroke
Once it is coming out of the rotary encoder right 👍😎

In mame it’s mapped to
Analogue incline = [
Analogue decline =]
In analogue controls set Sensitivity to 100

@Retroman839 ... He is working tirelessly so that those Ikari Warrios Joysticks on UDC's eBay get a price drop! 😅

Thank you for all your hard work, man ... you're taking the steps that we can't, won't, or don't know how to, take! 💪
