Hello,
I am quite new to RIOT, and, as a robot developper, I searched for hardware-managed quadratic encoders. Didn't found.
I think is would be great to add this kind of API to "periph". I have experience in STM32F4 encoders, and I can help to implement at least for this microcontroller family.
Cheers,
Loïc
Hi !
I'm not sure, but is this quadratic encoder the same thing as "rotary encoder" ? If so, I have a simple driver working. If not, then sorry for the noise.
Marc
I think it is the same. And I made a mistake, it is not called "quadratic encoder", but "quadrature encoder", or "rotary encoder", as you said. Is your driver in the repository ?
Loïc
No, it's not in the repository, but I can make it available for you to test. It is still in a Q&D state.
Marc
Yes, it can be interesting. For stm32f4 ?
Loïc
I've been using it on lm4f120, but it's not specific to any hw... It only uses 2 gpio with interrupt.
Marc
Hi Marc, Could you PR this (as WIP, if needed)? Would be great. Cheers, Emmanuel
Hi,
sure, I'll try to push that in few days.
Marc
Hi, Could you link the PR please?
Thanks Baptiste
Sorry, busy days. My code is at work so it will have to wait until monday.
Current code is really not in a state that can be merged as it's integrated in a prototype application (no API, everything still working with globals...). But I'll push a WIP PR on monday !
Sorry for the delay
Marc
Sorry again for the delay. I've started to extract the code from my prototype and I should be able to push it tomorrow for WIP/review.
Marc
Here it is.

I've tested it locally and it seems to be ok. Keep in mind that's a first draft, so there are most probably lots of bugs...
