GRBL with encoder as input

[josessin08]

Hi everyone, hoping they are well

My question is the following.

I need to connect encoders as input to GRBL controller. I have arduino mega with GRBL firmware, however, I lack more information about the pinout and its configuration in the program.

My main objective is to physically manipulate an encoder, rotate it and this is reflected in the program. One encoder for each axis

I remain attentive to your comments and excuse my English!

What are You talking about? How is GRBL suppose to use that encoder?
Please draw a logic block diagram. Words don't work.

@josessin08

this is reflected in the program.

How? What will they do?

You would have to convert encoder motion to gcode which sounds hard. GitHub - terjeio/GRBL_MPG_DRO_BoosterPack: Tiva C BoosterPack for GRBL MPG/DRO might help you. Or maybe use something like grbl controller app that provides DROs and supports jogging.
