Hi,
I have bought this magnetic encoder:
Sensors » Encoders » Encoders for Micro Metal Gearmotors »
Magnetic Encoder Pair Kit for Micro Metal Gearmotors, 12 CPR, 2.7-18V (old version)
I do not get the 12 counts per revolution.
I do not use Arduino to say is a library problem. I have measured it with the oscilloscope.
On the same shaft I use 2nd photo electric sensor as index to show 1 pulse per 1 turn (=1 revolution)
I used low speed as 4.58Hz, meaning 1 turn each 218ms, which give around 275RPM.
How do you count those specified 12CPR?
What I measure is only 3 periods of signal for each output (A or B) of the encoder.
Do you count the rising and the falling edge of each channel and add them together to give you 12?
Or how do you get 12? What is 12?
I expected to see 12 pulses at 1 revolution for each output (A or B) and I see only 3.
Looking on the forums and website I see only one oscillsope screenshot, next one:
but that shows only frequency and voltage, phase and not the counts per revolution.
So, what is it wrong with 12CPR?
Do you have any other oscilloscope measurements to show what 12CPR in terms of waveform is?
