Interfacing of Encoders

Aim

  • To interface an incremental encoder with an Arduino Uno to measure the speed (RPM)of a DC motor .

Objective

  • Understand the working of an incremental rotary encoder
  • Interface the encoder with Arduino UNO using digital input pins
  • Learn to use an interrupt-driven approach in Arduino to count encoder pulses accurately and efficiently.
  • Program the Arduino to measure the encoder pulses to display the motor RPM based on counted pulses.
