How to decode the nexus robot encoder attached to my 3WD robot platform?

Hello folks - noob regarding encoders here. Im trying to read in the optical encoder attached to this guy: https://www.robotshop.com/en/3wd-48mm-omni-directional-triangle-mobile-robot-chassis.html#Specifications

Wondering if there’s a library I could use for interrupt driven control or do I have to write something from first principles? Thanks!

Hello @frk1206 !

I’m glad to see you here, it seems like a pretty interesting project. What kind of interruptions do you need? What kind of microcontroller are you using? Libraries may vary depending on your programming language and interfaces. :grin:

@RoboCS thanks! I actually was able to solve the problem myself using the encoder and l298 library in arduino. Pretty easy to hook up. Thanks!

Hello frk1206,

It would be interesting to create a tutorial if you want.
