I need help with this Encoder

Projects Discussion and Showcase Robotics

Hello Everyone a couple of weeks I’ve bought a motor with its encoder and the problem is I can’t find anything related to this encoder

The datasheet for the motor:

and the only info about this encoder is this:

I use Arduino UNO and motor shield

So If anyone can help me with the connection of this encoder and its code that would be very helpful

Thanks in Advance.

That is a perfectly standard quadrature encoder. Google "arduino quadrature encoder" for thousands of tutorials and project pages.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Can you tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience?

What do you want to do with the arduino, encoder and motor.
Can you post link to specs of motor driver shield please.

Thanks for your reply
I searched google for days but i didn't find anything related
so if you can find one of the thousands of these tutorial that would be grateful
