    Default Can I use an Absolute rotary encoder 12bit resolution with a PIC18F4550 ?

    http://uk.farnell.com/broadcom-limit...rpm/dp/2467468


    As title...

    Has anyone successfully read from a 12bit absolute encoder using a PIC18F or similar?

    I'd love to get this to work as I have two immediate applications and the price of the thing is very reasonable.


    I'm not new to coding but am new to coding on embedded devices.

    Thanks,

    Wilson Logan.

    You can use it with any PIC. Just use shiftin
    Position var word
    ReadSensor:
    pinCS=0
    SHIFTIN DataPin, ClockPin, 6,[Position\12]
    pinCS=1
    RETURN
    Maybe pause is needed, depending on oscillator speed.
    That is it...

    Thanks!,

    That's a lot simpler than I imagined it would be.

    Cheers,
