Sorry. Yes, a math error.A better estimate of the worst-case might to 20,000 RPM and 1000 pulses per rev. That means 330,000 per second for each channel. But I bet close to 20,000 per second A simple comparator with hysteresis would work well. You really do need to add hysteresis to

First step is to understand (1) what you have and (2) what you need. So, If the spindle revolves one time, How many cycles of the sin wave do you see? What is the amplitude of the sine wave (in volts peak to peak)? Does the amplitude change with the spindle speed?You need to either read

my understanding is that most sin/cos are many lines per rev. It's just that they are fancier lines than an encoder made for incremental output. The index marker is one line per rev. On Wed, Feb 12, 2020 at 1:25 PM Gene Heskett wrote: > On Wednesday 12 February 2020 11:43:52 Chris Albertson

A sin and cos are 90 degrees apart. All you should need to do is threshold the signal and you have A/B quadrature.Many ways to threshold it but you want the one with least noise. A simple way to convert a sin wave to a square wave is to amplify then clip it with diodes. A comparator can

Check the max frequency on any encoder you look at. The inexpensive ones max out at 200 K. Frequency is not a problem is you want to throw $$ at it. It is very hard to win; lots of counts at the high end but not many when you are creeping. There just ain't no free lunch. Dave On 2/11/20
