Encoder communication protocol

Hello,

What kind of communication protocol (and baudrate if necessary?) is assumed by the oDrive for the encoder data? We would like to implement a special encoder for our system that has various options to choose from: SSI, BiSS, SPI, I2C, PWM, asynchronous serial.

We would like to choose the right one to be compatible with oDrive. Thanks!

We are currently working on SPI encoder protocol, official support should be soon. None of the other protocols you list are expected to be supported soon.

Hey,

Is the SPI encoder protocol available on a dev branch? :slight_smile:
Thanks.

Hello,
Is the asynchronous serial encoder protocol available on the oDrive ?
Thanks.

It is not. We are actually in the midst of discussing whether that’s possible. Do you have any examples of encoders which use this?
