#88811 - Determining direction
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Direction can be determined in moment n as An XOR B n-1 that is if value of one channel is different than previous value of the other channel (the previous state). In my application I had the readouts as edge interrupt routines triggered with any edge of the encoder (some discretes to transform all edges of 2 channels into falling edges on INT pin) but if the speed isn't too high, you can poll for value change.

Also a good sanity check is that nybble composed of An, Bn, An-1, Bn-1 has always odd number of bits set (hint: PSW.P bit) for all legal transitions. Even number of bits set means either the transition didn't happen (the wheel didn't move) or you lost a count, i.e. due to too fast rotation.

   Dont do this.            01/01/70 00:00      
      Signals are not connected directly            01/01/70 00:00      
   Is assembly ok?            01/01/70 00:00      
      For Mehdi            01/01/70 00:00      
   its easy in software            01/01/70 00:00      
      but            01/01/70 00:00      
         same resolution            01/01/70 00:00      
      But...what if ?            01/01/70 00:00      
         So what is the solution?            01/01/70 00:00      
         absolutely no problem            01/01/70 00:00

               Re frequency            01/01/70 00:00      
                  So what frequency do we sample at?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I try to explain Peter's idea again            01/01/70 00:00      
                     We know it !            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Nothing ???            01/01/70 00:00      
                           it takes time            01/01/70 00:00      
      Code doesn't function            01/01/70 00:00      
         reverse direction !            01/01/70 00:00      
            This is not a problem            01/01/70 00:00      
               incorrect operation?            01/01/70 00:00      
               right connection ?            01/01/70 00:00      
   I dunno            01/01/70 00:00      
   Now...            01/01/70 00:00      
   check the sample condition !            01/01/70 00:00      
   clarify            01/01/70 00:00      
      @Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
         @Peter            01/01/70 00:00      
            Grey code            01/01/70 00:00      
               Grey code more            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Grey INCREMENTAL ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     I guess 98            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Gray code            01/01/70 00:00      
      Not a gray code            01/01/70 00:00      
         Grey            01/01/70 00:00      
   Yes of course its Grey code            01/01/70 00:00      
      Absolute Vs Incremental            01/01/70 00:00      
         So now...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Yes it can but only...            01/01/70 00:00      
               Peter is right!            01/01/70 00:00      
   Lover not a fighter :-)            01/01/70 00:00
