Re: 3 Encoders

As far I am informed we only have two (available) hardware interrupts to use for the encoders, which would seem to indicate that we can only use 2 encoders.

However I also said nobody would hang last year

Re: 3 Encoders

Without knowing the details of the code or of the implementation, could you use an auxillary processor to take encoder information (from several sources), then pass it back to the RC processor as a package, using one (RC) interrupt?

Re: 3 Encoders

I think I heard of someone actually designing something to do this. Wow if one device could somehow keep track of those values and send it to the RC, that would be pretty sweet.
If I remember right, I thought that digitals 3-6 support interrupting, it's just they're banned together somehow.
