/*
Hifiduino v 0.7a
May 19, 2011: Minor update and bug fixes to the version 0.7 of June 21, 2009

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
This code requires LCD12cW.h for i2c LCD from Web4robot LCD and macros.h
for defining the large characters. Download library from:
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/LCDAPI and select "LCD12cW".
After downloading copy the folder "LCDi2cW" to the "libraries" folder in
the Arduino folder. "macros.h" is inside one of the examples in the examples
folder. Move it out of that folder into the LCDi2cW folder
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this release:
- Support for Web4robot LCD: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/LCDAPI
- Large number display for filter selection and volume
- Digital Filter Selection: Filter 1 to Filter 5.
- Rotary encoder.
- Volume Control. Now -99 db to 0db in 1db increment.
- Volume "dimmer". Volume dims to -60 dB when pushing rotary encoder
- Changed the default delay in the LCD library to (0,0) See below note.
- Select input sample rate (low, med, high) for future use.
- Adjust brightness and contrast of display with remote
- Remember brightness and contrast settings in eeprom
- New fonts for large number display
*/

/*
Additional notes:
- The default delay for the web4robot LCD is (50,4)
 It can be changed with setDelay(Cmd,Char).
 In fact setDelay(0,0) works with the web4robot display
 at least in this code, making it fairly fast

  1. Hello there, I know it has been a while since this code was published, I am just wondering in the above code how was the volume control achieved. I am looking for a code for a rotary encoder and a PGA2311 or similar chip. Did the above code use some kind of a stepped attenuator such as JoshuaTree or something similar.

  2. Hello, the code controls the volume feature inside the DAC. The rotary encoder code will work with any application because it only detects “clicks” in either “up” or “down” direction. The you use that information to control some device. For the PGA2311 or Joshua Tree you will need to write code for it.

  3. Thanks, all I need is to detect encoder cw move and generate say +1 or ccw move and generate -1. Then I could use those values to drive volume gain with the PGA chip. It shouldn’t be difficult to implement. At the end I would need to covert the gain to dB for LCD display. If I get the code working I may publish it here.

    • Good luck. Just understand that the code I used for the rotary encoder is very, very simple but requires that you install some capacitors in the rotary encoder to get rid of the noise. If you don’t do that, then you need to find code that implements “software debouncing”. I didn’t use s/w debouncing because it was too complex for my taste and my level of programming at that time.

      • Yep, rotary encoder also needs 47K pull up resistors to V+ from A and C pins, if I am not mistaken. I am not sure what you mean by “SW debouncing”, perhaps incorrect RE reading resulting in sending false signal to the PGA, or …? Could you give me some hints. I have no experience with REs. thanks

      • If you use Arduino, the pull up resistors can be enabled in s/w. The mechanical switch in a RE is very noisy so you will have many false readings. Some people deal with it with h/w (add capacitors), some people deal with it in s/w (timers, etc).

  4. Hi again,

    I tried the code and VOLUME control now works better, I can go down from 00. And yes, VOLUP and VOLDOWN codes were reversed, but that is an easy fix. Had to change the keys for BRIGHTNESS / CONTRAST, as I don’t have PICTUREUP/DOWN on my remote. I still have a problem with adjusting them, but this is a minor issue really. I would like to have INPUT control USB or PCM, like you do on the Buffalo II controller. Also it would be nice to have Apple remote instead of Sony, but I understand Sony remote is much easier to program.

  5. Hi Rade M.,

    Since you are using a different LCD, the BRI and CON adjustment will not work. You will have to find out if your specific LCD has instructions for adjusting those. Otherwise you will have to use manual adjustment.

    You can look at the Apple remote code from the latest Buff code and replace the Sony remote code
