Wheel Data
Wheel data is in the form of “2’s complement”
with the 6th bit as the sign bit. Positive numbers
are sent for clockwise rotation. These numbers
represent the wheel counts accumulated since
the last transmission (such as relative position
count), similar to what a computer mouse trans-
mits. The resolution is approximately 180
counts per revolution, and transmissions are
sent at about 10 milliseconds intervals when the
wheel is being turned.
Note that for certain switches, such as the
Mute switches, each “depressed” message
toggles the state of the switch on or off.
