Hai guys, i am really newbie to electrical and electronic course.
Can i connect this encoder to arduino uno directly, or i need a high speed counter for the connection?
Encoder : Omron E6B2-CWZ6C (incremental type).

HELP ME PLS...Thank You!!!!

Just use the circuit and code here:-

thanks Grumpy_Mike...
how about the connection...
:slight_smile:

What do you mean the connection?
The data sheet shows that depending on the type. You have power (brown ) and ground (blue ) and the three outputs. Use outputs A (black ) and B (white ).

Why do you need an encoder to check on the motor position? If the motor is missing steps that is the problem you should fix.

Reading a rotary encoder imposes a significant computational load on an Arduino and, if you are running the motor at high speed it may impact on performance.

What resolution is the encoder you are using/proposing? The one you mention is available in 10 to 2000 PPR
versions.
