quadrature-encoder

Hardware-level implementations of drivers for incremental encoders with support for full-, half- an quad-stepping.

Incremental Encoder

use quadrature_encoder::{FullStep, IncrementalEncoder};

let mut encoder: IncrementalEncoder<...> = Default::new(pin_clk, pin_dt);

// Update the encoder with pulse trains `a` and `b` and handle the result:
match encoder.poll() {
    Ok(Some(movement)) => println!("Movement detected: {movement:?}."),
    Ok(None) => println!("No movement detected."),
    Err(error) => println!("Error detected: {error:?}."),
}

// Or, if you only care about correctly detected movement:
if let Some(movement) = encoder.poll().unwrap_or_default() {
    println!("Movement detected: {movement:?}.")
}

println!("Encoder is at position: {:?}.", encoder.position());

See the examples directory for a more comprehensive example.

Indexed Incremental Encoder

An indexed encoder resets its position whenever a raising edge is detected on the idx pin.

use quadrature_encoder::{IndexedIncrementalEncoder};

let mut encoder: IndexedIncrementalEncoder<...> = Default::new(pin_clk, pin_dt, pin_idx);

// Update the encoder with pulse trains `a`, `b` and `z` and handle the result:
match encoder.poll() {
    Ok(Some(movement)) => println!("Movement detected: {movement:?}."),
    Ok(None) => println!("No movement detected."),
    Err(error) => println!("Error detected: {error:?}."),
}

// Or, if you only care about correctly detected movement:
if let Some(movement) = encoder.poll().unwrap_or_default() {
    println!("Movement detected: {movement:?}.")
}

println!("Encoder is at position: {:?}.", encoder.position());

See the examples directory for a more comprehensive example.

Convenience Aliases

Since the full typename IncrementalEncoder<Mode, ..., Step, T> can be quite a mouth-full a couple of convenience type-aliases are provided for the most common use-cases:

Rotary Encoders

use quadrature_encoder::{RotaryEncoder, IndexedRotaryEncoder};

let mut encoder: RotaryEncoder::new(pin_clk, pin_dt);
let mut indexed_encoder: IndexedRotaryEncoder::new(pin_clk, pin_dt, pin_idx);

Linear Encoders

use quadrature_encoder::{LinearEncoder, IndexedLinearEncoder};

let mut encoder: LinearEncoder::new(pin_clk, pin_dt);
let mut indexed_encoder: IndexedLinearEncoder::new(pin_clk, pin_dt, pin_idx);

Decoding Strategies

Full-step Decoding

A full-step encoder is able to detect up to 1 change(s) per quadrature cycle.

use quadrature_encoder::{FullStep, IncrementalEncoder};

let mut encoder: IncrementalEncoder<_, _, FullStep> = Default::new(...);

Half-step Decoding

A full-step encoder is able to detect up to 2 change(s) per quadrature cycle.

use quadrature_encoder::{HalfStep, IncrementalEncoder};

let mut encoder: IncrementalEncoder<_, _, HalfStep> = Default::new(...);

Quad-step Decoding

A full-step encoder is able to detect up to 4 change(s) per quadrature cycle.

use quadrature_encoder::{QuadStep, IncrementalEncoder};

let mut encoder: IncrementalEncoder<_, _, QuadStep> = Default::new(...);
