Hi, everyone. I'm really new to microcontrollers and now I am trying get into it. Unfortunately, I have to do it in no time.
I have a task to receive and save to pc the data from IMU and 2 rotary encoders which have SSI output (binary format)
Encoders datasheet: http://www.avagotech.com/docs/AV02-0188EN
And I have several questions:
I chose https://estore.ti.com/Sensor-Hub-BoosterPack-and-Tiva-C-Series-TM4C123G-LaunchPad-Bundle-P4538.aspx this as the main board + IMU. Does this booster pack returns Euler angles or quaternions or rough data only? Is this board suitable for this task?
I tried to find any info which may be useful for a newbie about SSI encoders connection, but failed. Do I need any extra peripheral to connect such an encoder or Tiva launchpad is enough? Where can I find a pin drawing just to know where to connect? And finally are there any code examples how to retrieve data from such encoders via SSI?
And the last question - what is the max cable length that can be used to connect encoders?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards, Stanislav.
