Summary:A method (200) and apparatus for controlling an electronic device (100) using a rotary control (143). The method (200) includes receiving, by an electronic processor (102) from an inductance sensor, a first inductance. The method (200) further includes comparing, by the electronic processor (102), the first inductance to a first threshold. The method (200) further includes, determining, by the electronic processor (102), a location for the rotary control (143) when the first inductance exceeds the first threshold. The method (200) further includes activating, by the electronic processor (102), a control function based on the location. The method (200) further includes receiving, by the electronic processor (102) from the inductance sensor, a second inductance. The method (200) further includes determining, by the electronic processor (102), a delta based on the first inductance and the second inductance. The method (200) further includes adjusting, by the electronic processor (102), the control function based on the delta.
