Nice demo, and thanks for attaching the code. Having dealt with encoders myself, I'm very happy to see encoder components embedded in microcontrollers! Not missing pulses anymore is very benificial for control algorithms.

How many of these quadrature decoders can you place in one PSOC4 / PSOC5?

Hi Paul,

Good update. Its good to see that the quad decoder circuit on the PSOC works as advertised.

I first encountered the quad encoding back in 1972 when we interfaced three stepper motors to build a 6 Dof gimbal for testing optical devices.

We used those old TTL circuits to decode the direction and movement. It was a fun little project.

Thanks
