Hey there, I didn't want to hijack another encoder thread as this is about slightly something else.
I'm using this rotary encoder from sparkfun https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10596
and running the example code for Encoder library. But I'm getting a lot of repeated values if I twist the knob little bit faster (not too fast). I am using Teensy 3 at 96MHz, I thought that would read fast enough the encoders to give an accurate value.
Is there any debounce functionality in the Encoder library? or some sort of average function I could smooth out the readings?
here is the code
and the results I'm getting

Code:
#include <Encoder.h>
Encoder myEnc(10, 9);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Basic Encoder Test:");
}
long oldPosition = -999;
void loop() {
long newPosition = myEnc.read();
if (newPosition != oldPosition) {
oldPosition = newPosition;
Serial.println(newPosition);
}
}and the results I'm getting
