Connecting DC motor Encoder (IG42E-24K) to Arduino Due

[engzr]

Hi there,

I am tryting to connect the IG42E-24K's hall effect encoder to Arduino Due but I have no idea how to do it. Please advice. Thank you.

Cheers!

Is there any manual or guide for that encoder?

Thanks!

The Encoder specification, it shows the encoder is NPN output, a pull up resistor is needed, recommended 1K. Pull up to 5V since you are using Arduino.

So basically you need a resistor for each encoder output. Try to use oscilloscope to look at the signal first.

Yes, robosang is correct.

We do not have example/tutorial for the encoder to be interfaced with Arduino DUE. But since the output of encoder is open drain/NPN, it can be interface with any TTL/CMOS logic. Of course a pull up resistor to the respective voltage is necessary.

Thanks!

It's working right now. However when the motor reached a certain speed the counter starts to become unstable instead of keep on increasing it actually fluctuated within a range. This time I'm using attachInterrupt function in the Arduino.

Is this going to do with my program or the physical limitation of the encoder?

Since you are using Arduino Due, the pins should be pulled up to 3.3v.
How's your connection? And what's the function you call with attachInterrupt()? Attach your schematic and related segment of code might be helpful.

Should be your sketch What is the number when it start to get crazy?
