Make my own EtherCAT device 3. Encoder

I make an EtherCAT encoder device. Go through how it is done, what tools and code are used. Demonstrate and prepare for test.

I really love this content. An encoder slice from Beckhoff is quite expensive and hard to find these days. A board like yours that can read multiple encoders would be a breath of fresh air especially for the home hobby shop machinist. I saw that in the linuxcnc groups there are discussions about jerk limiting, if we could also have ethercat, this would be the next level! :D

Many chips have hardware pulse counter. I know STM32F1xx has it and ESP32.
Whats good about it is that you dont have to worry if code will be busy and miss counts.

Excellent work!
Love to see it come through.

Thanks for your videos!
Perhaps some PCB mounting holes?

I use ESP32 for encoders and it has hardware support for 8 encoders (4 differential pairs) can you make multiple devices/encoders on single one EtherCat module?
