In this electronics basics episode we will have a closer look at motor encoders. Those can not only turn any motor into an awesome and satisfying input device for your projects; but can also turn any kind of motor into a kind of stepper motor. There are many different types of such encoders. So let me show you how they work, what they do and how you can use them. Let's get started ;-)

@runger1
@runger1 2 місяці тому
Hey Scott, thanks for your great and always so informative videos. I just wanted to add a small correction, namely that the CUI encoder has a PPR of 2048 - but that is pulses, on each A and B outputs. Because these outputs are in "quadrature", they form a 2-bit Gray code, and the actual resolution is 4x higher than the number of pulses, because you count both the up and down transitions on both signal lines. So the CUI encoder has a PPR (pulses per revolution) of 2048, but a CPR (counts per revolution == resolution) of 8192, which works out to an amazing 0.044° resolution, twice that of the AS5600...

@Munjaal7
@Munjaal7 2 місяці тому
One of the primary issues I've had with quadrature outputs is needing to read them on interrupts to avoid missing position (which causes a bunch of issues on slow microcontrollers) or needing peripheral microcontrollers just to keep track of position that can be polled when required. Having raw angle from the encoder would make it simpler, at least for cases I've been having trouble with. If you do know of any way to simplify reading from quadrature outputs, please do let me know.
@runger1
@runger1 2 місяці тому
@@Munjaal7 Yes, depending on the hardware you choose, you can read encoders with no interrupts and zero overhead. It depends on the MCU having support for this, but for example STM32 MCUs or SAMD51 MCUs can do this using their encoder inputs (part of their timer peripherals). ESP32 has support for it also, although its a bit more complicated there, and RP2040 can do it using its handy PIO units. But a magnetic encoder such as the AS5600 used in this video, or the faster SPI based encoders like a AS5047, AS5048, MA732, MA330, MT6835 and many others can also be read out using digital protocols like I2C or SPI. Compared to using ABZ mode in quadrature using SPI or I2C has higher latency, but for most applications that's not a problem. Using the digital protocols to read the encoders means you don't need any interrupts and can't miss counting them 🙂 If you're interested in this, please drop by www.simplefoc.com and check out our "Drivers Library" where we have Arduino drivers for a variety of magnetic encoders...

Encoders on motors have been a key part of my robotics builds, being one of the ways to estimate how far a robot has moved, or try to keep multiple motors going at the same speed. Paired with PID loops they are a key component.
@mathieusan
@mathieusan 2 місяці тому
one more advantage is there is no mechanical mating between the motor shaft and encoder, so there is no wear or strain induced by the assembly due to possible slight misalignment. This is a huge advantage for durability. Once the magnet is secured and positioned in the center, and the sensor board is secured in an assembly, only initial calibration is needed. This means, it should be stable under vibration, bumps, etc.

@@roboman2444 It's been a while (about ten years) since I've worked with this sort of encoder. I have a video titled *"EncoderPositionAndSpeed130824a"* which shows my attempt to mount an AS5055 encoder inside a hobby servo. My setup had lots of error since the PCB and magnet weren't precisely mounted. Since my setup included the servo's gear train, I don't think your stepper motor idea would have worked for me. If I were to try this again, I think I'd just use a good quality quadrature encoder on the servo's output to use to measure the actual vs. theoretical position. It's nice to see these sorts of encoders being commonly used now. Back when I made my video, I had to order a large batch (100) of diamagnetically magnetized magnets. These sorts of magnets weren't nearly as easy to find ten years ago.

The optical encoder diagram you created is slightly off. Generally it's easier to manufacture the encoder if you put sensors A and B on opposite sides of the wheel. That way they can be at the same height making it easier to build. For example, from your diagram, if you put sensor B over to the left of the wheel at the same height as A you will see it will be on the same side of the hole as where you drew it on the right. But I guess you put them together like that to make it easier to show they are offset from each other.

Almost all modern industrial servomotors come with high resolution encoders, usually resolvers, that send position using a protocol, like the royalty-free BISS protocol. By high resolution, I mean 2 million counts per turn. The reason for such a high resolution is that PID calculations are much more accurate and therefore the servo follows the target path mich better amd handles small errors better. I used 2000 count encoders for years, and when I switched to 2M, life with servos got a lot better. Now of only there was a hobby grade high resolution encoder.

There are other types that work by means of a glass disk that has dark and transparent areas and underneath it is a laser transmitter and receiver.

How is that gimbal motor if you rotate it by hand? Do you feel the steps when unpowered? Or is it smooth? Would you consider it good enough for a smartknob?

This could be so useful for an Icom RC-28 alternative.

Hello Scott, do you think we can use this for a diy steering wheel? I mean both the encoder and the motor controller?

Just for information sake: once I took apart a broken Y-axis driver from a vinyl cutting plotter and it had an optical encoder attached to a simple brushed DC motor as one unit, so may be there're some cheap off-the-shelf motors with feedback one could buy online, I mean "cheap and affordable", because in my case the spare motor for that fancy cutting machine cost just unreasonable and ridiculous money.

This may be usefull to build cheap wire encoders, for doors/windows or anything that cannot be done with normal encoder.

I'd like to see inside of an industrial motor encoder, if you're willing to make a video on them? 😉 The lowest resolution i work with is a 19 bit encoder and the biggest so far is 26 bit encoder, which is 524k and 67.1M pulses per revolution. I've always wanted to see how they're constructed and how they operate.
