TM4C123GH6PM: Is it possible to convert GPIO pin to QEI capable?

Part Number: TM4C123GH6PM

Hi,

I'm using TM4C123GH6PM,CCSv8.1.0,TI-RTOS - 2.16.00.08

As per my project requirement I have to use 8 QEI's. But TM4C123GH6PM is capable of 2 QEI . Is there any possibility of making normal GPIO pins as QEI capable for remaining 6 QEI. If not how can I over come this problem. Please suggest me a better solution in this.

Thanks in Advance

  • Hello Yashwanth,

    I am not sure that would be possible, I think the code to mimic the QEI functionality would introduce too much lag in response time to be viable.

    As mentioned in the other thread you have, I suggest using PWM instead. The PWM module has up to 16 outputs.
