Hi folks,

I have a "Rover 5 Tank Chassis (4 motors with 4 Encoders) / SKU:ROB0055-4M4E" and a "Romeo for Intel® Edison Controller (With Intel® Edison) SKU:DFR0350" to drive it...

Two questions :)

a) Where do i connect the 'quadrature encoder output' wires from the Rover to the Edison Controller?
I.e. which pins on controller for all four encoders?

(The four wires from encoder are: RED is +5V for the encoder, BLACK is 0V (ground), WHITE is signal A, YELLOW is signal B.
Manual is NOT clear on this..

b). Could you please attach / paste some arduino code so that i can adjust setting for encoders.

Much appreciated,

Michael.

Hi Michael,

You can connect the signal A or B pin of the encoder to any digital pin of the controller. You can refer to the use of the encoder PID click control code.
