encoder (ec16, 24 steps) on esp32 s3 (3d party) in relative mode only increments

[bsinfo523]

Hi,

Control-Surface looks like a great project!

I have an encoder (EC16 with 24 steps) connected to an ESP32-S3 with MIDI over USB.

I'm not the best programmer, but I still tried to write my own code, and after some time, I was able to successfully map and control a parameter in Ableton with the encoder (absolute mode). However, I wanted to integrate more encoders and use them in relative mode. So I started looking for ready-made solutions.

That's when I found your Control-Surface project and tried the example RotaryEncoder.ino.

In Ableton, I tested all possible relative modes, but none of them worked correctly. Either it only increments, no matter which direction I turn the encoder, or it only moves backward, and sometimes it jumps randomly. Changing the multiplier slightly affects the values, but not in a way that makes it work properly. I have no idea why the encoder isn't working in relative mode.

Even when I test the example AbsoluteRotaryEncoder.ino, one direction is not detected. Where can I improve the direction detection in the code? I had similar issues in my own code, but ChatGPT helped me with that. :)
