Rotary encoder decrease pulse per rotation

Hi,

I am having trouble to make research in internet about this question, so sorry if I am unclear or if this question is already done.
I have a quadrature rotary encoder https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11102 which has 1024 pulse per rotation. Considering that is quadrature these pulses are increased to 4096. I need somehow to have only 360 pulses per rotation, more exactly I need to count the rotation of the encoder from 0 to 360 in one full rotation.
I am really sorry if I am unclear in my request please let me know if I need to provide other detail.

Best,
Ilir

If you are getting 4096 pulses per rotation you won't be able to measure exactly 360 steps per revolution because 4096 is not a multiple of 360. The same is true for 1024 pulses.

You can easily get 256 steps per revolution by dividing the 4096 count by 16.

Cool I solved it i just decided the value from encoder with 11.3777778 and it seems working.
Thank you.

As long as you know that it is not "precisely" correct and may give a miss-step occasionally.
