• Challenge: motor encoders

• Hook up a single motor to 7.4V supply (stop simulation and rewire the motor to change direction - slide switches will not work in Tinkercad even though it should in real life). Get a hardware interrupt to count rising edges on channel A. Use the PINx register to account for direction (quadrature). Add a second motor. This time, hook up channel A to a PCINT. Determine whether PCINT happened on rising edge or falling edge. Use the PINx register to account for direction on the second motor

• BASIC UNDERSTANDING

SESSION OVERVIEW: In this session we learnt about the PINx Register and how to use motor encoders

• • Motor Encoder

    • Motor encoders are a function in which it controls the motor

    • It controls the motor to function precise movements

  • PINx Register

    • The register hold the value of a pin when it is set to an input

    • The register will put a 1 if the voltage is higher than around 2.5 volts

    • The register will put a 0 is the voltage is lower than 2.5 volts
