Right now I am able to turn it on/off, turn the volume up/down, and switch input sources with my own controller library I quickly wrote on a friday night. For testing I&rsquo;m using an old car radio button which doesn&rsquo;t behave like a normal rotary encoder it seems, wiring it up like a normal encoder will cause shorts in the system and trigger unwanted commands.<p>Currently dabbling in MicroPython because I want to be able to control my Denon AVR with a &ldquo;wireless&rdquo; volume knob which isn&rsquo;t a remote because I like the tactile response a volume knob gives.</p> <p>Right now I am able to turn it on/off, turn the volume up/down, and switch input sources with my own controller library I quickly wrote on a friday night.

I guess I&rsquo;ll have to wait for the rotary encoders I ordered from Ali.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s a pretty quick and dirty project and still a work in progress but if you&rsquo;re interested you can check it here: <a href="https://github.com/laetificat/volume-knob">https://github.com/laetificat/volume-knob</a></p>
