Calibration fails, Arduino is rebooting? about arduino

[Maaarsl]

I bought a stronger 12V 4A power supply and a new KY-040 rotary encoder (since I thought the first one might be faulty). Now the display shows "Err1" immediately after I press the "move down" button during the calibration.

I found Issue #97 while searching for similar issues and increased the WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT to 15000 while testing (the motor is still attached to the table), now the motor is moving again and the Arduino won't reboot after I release the buttons but I am still not able to finish the calibration successfully. Here is what happens:

1. Display is flashing with dashes, set desk to lowest position
2. Pressed "tilde" until message '-rst' shows
3. Set desk to highest position (display is showing 0000 the entire time and is not counting up)
4. Pressed "tilde" until message '-rst' shows
5. Display isn't flashing anymore and displays "0000", nothing happens if I press a button

aenniw commented this on Issue #97:

also could you try to compile with HALF_STEP as some of the KY-040 seems to skip steps...

Could you provide some logs if possible? compile with __DEBUG__

Where do I have to define HALF_STEP? I searched for HALF_STEP inside the entire repository and didn't find it.
How do I get logs after compiling it with __DEBUG__?

I am still having the same issue. I connected the rotary encoder to a Arduino Mega and created a simple sketch to verify the rotary encoder is working. The rotary encoder does work (see picture below) so I think it is a software issue.

Right after that I found the HALF_STEP constant inside Rotary.h and changed it from this:

// Enable this to emit codes twice per step.
// #define HALF_STEP

to this:

// Enable this to emit codes twice per step.
#define HALF_STEP

But even with watchdog disabled the movement stops instantly and the display shows Err 1. If I deactivate HALF_STEP again (watchdog is also disabled) I can move the table but I won't be able to complete the calibration process (like described above).
