Using old radio potentiometer for Raspberry setup

[thoughtfission]

There are zillions of articles on using rotary encoders with Raspberry Pi just google "rotary encoder raspberry pi".

moOde's built in rotary encoder driver only does volume up/down and does not contain any code to handle an encoder that also has a push button function.

Hi Tim,

Unfortunately I don't think that's quite what I need. I am refurbishing old radios with new, pi pased internals. I want to keep the old controls on the radios and use them to perform basic functions like volume control and on/off. Using a rotary encoder would require me to replace the orginal potentiometer volume knob. Or maybe I am missing something?

Thanks for the feedback though.
