Hi,
I just got an incremental encoder, Bourns type PEC 11 ( 2 bit gray code ) and I'd like to experiment with it , but I never see an encoder before :)
It has 3 legs marked A,C,B ( on datasheet ) ,could anyone kindly tell me how to connect it ?
Thank you,
Johan
Hi,
Connect A & B to your PIC inputs and pull them low with, say between 1k & 10k. Connect C to Vdd and you should be in good shape. Here's a datasheet for it.

Thank you Hendrik,
I have done as you suggest, but I could not get result with my code below.
I found the code somewhere , and I tried to port to PBP, I am not sure if it is correct
I use PIC 18F4431
DEFINE OSC 16 ' Oscilator HS
clear
TRISA = %00000000 ' Set PORTA to all output
TRISB = %00000011 ' Set PORTB.2 -7 to output
TRISC = %00000000 ' Set PORTC to all input
TRISD = %00000000 ' Set PORTD to all output
TRISE = %00000000 ' Set PORTE to all output
ANSEL0= %00000000 ' Analog channel AN0-AN7 off
ANSEL1= %00000000 ' Analog channel AN8 off
'PROGRAM TO DETERMINE DIRECTION OF QUADRATURE ENCODER
portb_old var BYTE
'RULE FOR A 2-BIT (QUADRATURE SYSTEM):
'CLOCKWISE = LOW BIT OF OLD VALUE IS ALWAYS EQUAL TO HIGH BIT OF NEW VALUE
'COUNTERCLOCKWISE = LOW BIT OF OLD VALUE DOES NOT EQUAL HIGH BIT OF NEW VALUE
main:
PORTA = 0 'RA0 LED will indicate CW; RA1 LED will indicate CCW
PORTB = 0 'RB0 and RB1 as inputs for encoder A & B
portb_old = 0
my_direction:
IF PORTB XOR portb_old <> 0 THEN
PORTA = ((PORTB.1 XOR (portb_old AND 1)) + 1) 'cw = 1; ccw = 2
ENDIF
portb_old = PORTB
GOTO my_direction
end
