Hey all, Just to update this: Timo replied to me on the github forum. It turns out after many iterations of teensies and transeivers, it turned out that my garmin chartplotter wasn't working and therefore no...

Just tried with a teensy 4.1 with same results.

Yay!!! It was the voltage! I was driving the encoder separately from the breadboard. 12v supply, and had a range of 3-7v coming in on the pins. When I had looked at this before I never saw anything above 5. Which is...

Thanks for all the feedback. Also, thx for that alternate source for the part! I'll give all this a try and respond afterwards... Apologies for the cut-n-paste... Here's the sketch: #include "EncoderTool.h"...

So I have got something from the encodertool on a callback. works with halfAlt or full encoder.begin(2,3,myCallback, CountMode::full); //CountMode::halfAlt); my callback is simple but I don't understand how to...

So, The encoder from paul seems to just give counts. either 0, 1, -1. I tried acumulating to get a count or rough number, and it's way off from my interupt routines which are spot on. Maybe i'm missing something, but...

Thx clinker8, i got your post right after i hit enter! I found a site that describes it pretty well w/ some code. I'll read some more. I get the lead/lag of the A/B for direction. I just have to figure out how to...

Reading a bit. I think this is a quadrature encoder? Meaning the direction is the reason for the channel B. Now I'm off to figuring out how to determine direction in the interupt routines...

Thanks Paul! I was able to learn a couple things: 1. These things put out a digital pulse! duh. I had it wired through a circuit that expects an analog wave (VRS). Not a big deal I can just bypass that input and...
