Configuring REV Through Bore Encoder

Technical Programming
1

According to the AEAT-8800-Q24 data sheet:

The absolute angle measurement provides an instant indication of the magnet’s angular position with a selectable and one-time programmable resolution of 10, 12, 14, or 16 bits.

and

The incremental positions are indicated on ABI and UVW signals with user configurable CPR 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 of ABI signals…

Two questions. What are the default values out of the box? And how do you actually program this? Can it be done through the WPI interface? We’re using Java. I did read through the various WPILib calls but didn’t understand which ones to use (if any).

Thanks

The device is configured to 2048, and it is not user configurable. Those settings are configured at the factory during manufacturing.

Thanks. How about the resolution of the Absolute angle measurement? What’s that set to?

It’s set to 10 bits. Both of these pieces are listed on their website BTW.

Technically this setting is set to 16-bits and controls the resolution for the SSI reading. The absolute pulse-width output has a resolution of 10 bits. I would recommend reading the specifications or datasheet of the sensor on our site instead of the datasheet of the chip that is inside of it, as our datasheet answers all of these questions.
