In some applications, the BTN_SOUTH push-button switch is also a soft reset that
selectively resets functions within the FPGA.

Rotary Push-Button Switch

Locations and Labels

The rotary push-button switch is located in the center of the four individual push-button
switches, as shown in
encoder outputs are ROT_A and ROT_B. The center push-button switch is ROT_CENTER.

Operation

The rotary push-button switch integrates two different functions. The switch shaft rotates
and outputs values whenever the shaft turns. The shaft can also be pressed, acting as a
push-button switch.
Push-Button Switch
Pressing the knob on the rotary/push-button switch connects the associated FPGA pin to
3.3V, as shown in
generate a logic Low.
There is no active debouncing circuitry on the push button.
