Component: Quadrature Encoder (EBM007) (EBM Modules)
| Author | Matrix TSL |
| Version | 1.0 |
| Category | EBM Modules |
Quadrature Encoder component
Provides a rotary encoder with dual digital outputs that provide rotation and direction information. When connected to two digital inputs of a microcontroller a “digital pot” can be implemented to convert to digital values.

|
Count Variable |
|
Variable Type |
| Selects the size of the encoder count variable depending on the number of encoder counts required to be stored. The 16 bit variable counter is accessed via the ReadCounter and WriteCounter functions. The 32 bit variable counter is accessed via the ReadCounter32 and WriteCounter32 functions. | |
|
|
Encoder Resolution |
|
|
Post Scaler |
| Encoders with a mechanical click will often have 4 transitions per click. 1:1 would provide the maximum output resolution. 1:4 would provide the encoder click count. | |
