On the Rpi you can get the current speed of the cpu with the following command: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq But beware that the Rpi default uses the on-demand governor for cpu clocking. This means when you overclock the Rpi and it is idle you get a lower clock with th

Some place inside that encoder is a normal quadrature signal. Likely right at the phototransistor.If you could find it and buffer it then you have a conventional motor that is easy to interface. I just got a few unknown motors myself and hade to figure of which lead wire was which. It not ha
