I want to help get someone like me up and running as easily as possible… e.g a ee-dumb software guy
I have been looking around on the forum and can’t find out what kind of encoders to use. I have a couple of different types around here or I can order some but I am not sure what parameters I need.
Do I need an Index pulse? And I am not sure what the Encoder freq. (base speed) is. Is that like the max frequency that the board can read?
Here are some useful CAD designs of various motors and test jigs, including 3D printable or laser cut ones:
Here are some interesting encoder suggestions:
Hey everyone
I am thinking about upgrading the included rotary encoder that comes with odrive. The current encoder has the following specs:
Encoder resolution at 2400 counts per revolution
A realistic top speed of around 5,000 RPM
No support for an index pulse.
For me the lack of an index pulse is the issue. I believe the current firmware road map means we can look forward to index support some time soon and then integration of this into the anti-cogging feature soon after. The idea being th…
