Encoder Reading Error - Negative Values
Thanks to Waijung2 support team, they let us use those blocksets.
I have a project about steering wheels, so i need to know every parts of reading an encoder.
I have 1024 ppr encoder. ( Omron E6B2-CWZ6C Rotary Encoder 1024 P/R Rpm )
I can read my encoder with "Encoder Read" block but it gives me values between 0-360 degree.
On the other hand, i should read it between -180 to +180. But when i turned my wheel left it started to go down from 360. it does not go down under 0.
Would you please help me on this ?
Thanks.

Hi Ahmet,
Thank you for your interests in using Waijung.
According to the above description, you have mentioned that you could able to get the encoder readings in terms of angles from 0 to 360 degrees. But your requirement is to get the readings from -180 to +180 degrees. In addition to that you mentioned that if you turns the encoder left it gives the readings from 360 and it goes down to 0 but it doesn't go lower than 0. If we assume that, you can get the readings from 0 to 360 when you turns the encoder right what you need to do is to implement an simulink algorithm to shift the positive range (0 to 360 degrees) to required range (-180 to +180 degrees).

Chandima.

Thanks for your reply,
Actually i was looking forward to learn about that algorithm, also i need to figure that out how to design that algorithm, i shoul also edge it to -180 to +180 and the initial value of the encoder must be 0.
If you can give me an example about the algorithm, it would help me much in this situation.
Regards.
