    Magnetic encoder signal processing

    I've been using DC motors with magnetic hall effect encoders on them to measure position control. It's basically a feedback servomotor system. i've so far been feeding the signal into my microcontroller's interrupts. This has been causing some problems with my timers and program. Let's say the...

    What is the purpose of a rotary encoder?

    I apologize in advance if my post is in the wrong section. I'm writing a program to control a stepper motor. The motor came with a motion controller and an encoder. I'm not sure how the encoder should be used. I can program the controller to set the "zero/reference" point and tell the stepper...

    Detecting Missing Teeth on a 60-1 Encoder Wheel with an Arduino

    I am at a bit of a loss at how to deal with the logic of a 60-1 or 60-2 (60 tooth wheel missing 1 or 2 teeth as an indicator of position) read by a VR sensor. I'm currently employing an Arduino, though later I may change platform.. I can have the sensor on an interrupt, but how do I detect...

    How Do A and B Signals Determine Motor Direction in Incremental Encoders?

    So I've been trying to read up a little on incremental encoders and have been looking at the outputted signals typically labeled A and B. These signals are 90 degrees out of phase. Apparently, the purpose of having both of these signals is for identifying motor direction. However, I'm kind of...
