optical encoders?

[panic mode]

I guess it's a matter of opinion and preference (grin)...

Why throw expensive hardware at a problem that can be solved with a dozen lines of 'free' code (grin)?

Kind regards, Mike

I didn't state my preference if that's what you had in mind, but you are right, he might be more familiar with the hardware. I did offer alternative to someone who was stuck, and couldn't get his code to work. I guess ASM code writen by someone who is maybe just learning to program is not quite efficient or easy to follow. While 4 states are not much to decode, someone who struggles with a problem, might appreciate alternative solution even if it is more expensive ($0.50...?) and that was the point (no need for grin).

I'm way over my head here.
I can't seem to grasp the concept.

The algorithym is also challenging,
and I've spent many hours getting it right.
I know there is always a better way.

Kind regards,

I'd definitely use RBIF but timer driven sampling should work as well. You can pretty easily estimate the speed of of the quad encoder pulses. 1mS might be a bit slow as you should be sampling at least 2X the max rate.

He'd have to spin the knob on his 25-pulse/revolution encoder more than 40 times per second (2400 rpm) to miss a pulse when polling with 1-msec interrupts...

Kind regards, Mike

Uh, it's some sort of thumb pressure gizmo. I think he can get instaneous acceleration of a lot more than you are thinking.

With your example, the limit is 10 RPS for a 1khz (1 mS) sample rate, by the way.

Let's do the math. 25 ppr = 100 edges per rev in a 90 degree phase relationship. depending on his gearing/linkage from the lever device to the encoder disk he could see a pretty fast pulse rate. How fast can you move your thumb? Remember, its about max instantaneous rate, not steady state. If you guess too low, you get errors (invalid grey code transitions). I still think 1K may be a bit low but it's easy enough to determine. The good news is timer interrupt overhead for this is tiny so the penalty for sampling too often is pretty low.

Finally, I had time to play with this.

Please don't be to critical, as I'm relatively new at Pic programming.
Remember, I'm trying to increase DC motor speed via an optical encoder which is more or less fashioned like a gas pedal in a car. When you apply pressure to accelerator speed goes up, when you let off accel, speed decrease.

Here is my code.

Please, just verify, and critisize as needed. All constructive critisism will be welcome.
Code is not complete, just need to weed out the bad.

Thank You.

I think I have it figured out.My code was way off. Trying something else.

Thanks

this source is working..
but may i know where you get datasheet of that mouse encoder??
the mouse that i use have 48 step/revolution..
i need that datasheet to get sure that my source algoritm is already right..
thx for you all..
