Hi
I am facing some problems in controlling position of a dc motor with built in rotary encoder. I am using arduino Mega.
i am using this motor from pololu Pololu - 30:1 Metal Gearmotor 37Dx52L mm 12V with 64 CPR Encoder (No End Cap).
with some help i have managed to read the encoder values, left is to incorporate at what count to stop the motor.
below is the codes to read the encoder.
#define encoder0PinA 2
#define encoder0PinB 3
volatile unsigned int encoder0Pos = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(encoder0PinA, INPUT);
pinMode(encoder0PinB, INPUT);
// encoder pin on interrupt 0 (pin 2)
attachInterrupt(0, doEncoderA, CHANGE);
// encoder pin on interrupt 1 (pin 3)
attachInterrupt(1, doEncoderB, CHANGE);
Serial.begin (9600);
}
void loop(){ //Do stuff here }
void doEncoderA(){
// look for a low-to-high on channel A
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinA) == HIGH) {
// check channel B to see which way encoder is turning
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinB) == LOW) {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos + 1; // CW
}
else {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos - 1; // CCW
}
}
else // must be a high-to-low edge on channel A
{
// check channel B to see which way encoder is turning
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinB) == HIGH) {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos + 1; // CW
}
else {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos - 1; // CCW
}
}
Serial.println (encoder0Pos, DEC);
// use for debugging - remember to comment out
}
void doEncoderB(){
// look for a low-to-high on channel B
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinB) == HIGH) {
// check channel A to see which way encoder is turning
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinA) == HIGH) {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos + 1; // CW
}
else {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos - 1; // CCW
}
}
// Look for a high-to-low on channel B
else {
// check channel B to see which way encoder is turning
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinA) == LOW) {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos + 1; // CW
}
else {
encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos - 1; // CCW
}
}
}
any help will be appreciated
