# TinyKnob - Rotary Encoder with USB Interface
TinyKnob is a rotary encoder with a USB interface based on the ATtiny45/85 and the V-USB software-only implementation of USB1.1 devices on AVR microcontrollers (https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html). The example code implements a volume control knob for PCs which works without installing any driver by acting like a generic HID device.

# Compiling and Uploading the Firmware
## If using the precompiled hex-file
- Make sure you have installed [avrdude](https://learn.adafruit.com/usbtinyisp/avrdude).
- Connect your programmer to your PC and to the ICSP header on the board.
- Open a terminal.
- Navigate to the folder with the hex-file (software/binaries).
- Execute the following command (if necessary replace "t85" with your chip and "usbasp" with the programmer you use):
```
avrdude -c usbasp -p t85 -U flash:w:tinyknob.hex -U lfuse:w:0xe1:m -U hfuse:w:0xdd:m
```

## If using the makefile (Linux/Mac)
- Make sure you have installed [avr-gcc toolchain and avrdude](http://maxembedded.com/2015/06/setting-up-avr-gcc-toolchain-on-linux-and-mac-os-x/).
- Connect your programmer to your PC and to the ICSP header on the board.
- Open a terminal.
- Navigate to the folder with the makefile (software/sources).
- Run `DEVICE=attiny85 PROGRMR=usbasp make install` to compile, burn the fuses and upload the firmware (change DEVICE and PROGRMR accordingly).
