When the position SW1 is changed, a zero position calibration is performed: a new zero position will be set, the actual
mechanical position of the knob is considered as the coordinate (0,0).
This procedure is necessary to compensate an inaccurate centering of the module’s knob.
The automatic centering calibration is performed each time the demoboard is powered on as well.
Center LED and Hall Push LED
The Center LED is ON when the knob coordinate is exactly (0,0) . This coordinate is after calibration.
The Hall Push LED is ON when the EP button of the module is pushed and detected via the hall sensors only. This
function doesn’t use the dome switch contact of the module, but the magnetic field change on the vertical direction.
The Hall push LED is enabled in mode 0, 1 and 2 only. See next chapter for fore information about the demoboard
modes.
