ESP32Encoder

Build Status

ESP32Encoder library that uses the ESP32 pulse counter hardware peripheral:

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/peripherals/pcnt.html

There is only one interrupt for the peripheral, and that is managed by the library. The user has no interrupt interface, and no interrupts are generated on each pulse. Interrupts arrive when the 16 bit counter buffer overflows, so this library has a tiny interrupt footprint while providing support for up to 8 simultaneous quadrature encoders.

This hardware peripheral supports only 8 encoders.

Pull Downs/Ups

To specify the weak pull resistor set the value useInternalWeakPullResistors with the enum types UP, DOWN, or NONE

A note on KY-040 and similar

The "switch style" encoder wheels used by breakout modules such as:

need electrical debouncing in the range of 0.1 - 2 uf per encoder line to ground. This device bounces much more than the PCNT hardware modules debouncing time limits. Be sure to setFilter() to 1023 as well after attaching in order to get the maximum hardware debouncing.
