Read rotary encoder from Arduino Uno in Simulink

123 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I can easily read the counts in Matlab (like this: https://de.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/ug/control-rotary-encoder-knob.html), but not in Sumulink! Can someone tell me how it is the correct way to read the counts in real-time in Simulink?
Thanks

I understand that you are trying to read the counts from a rotary encoder using Simulink. Although Simulink doesn't have a block to interface a rotary encoder at present, it can possibly be achieved in two ways:
  1. Write your code on MATLAB and import the function as a Simulink block. See how that is done here.
  2. Attach External Interrupt block to pins 2 and 3 to call an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) function. The ISR will then perform bitwise comparison of the two inputs to increment/decrement the counts.
The idea behind the second approach is to implement the rotaryEncoder function through existing Simulink blocks.

@Phan Du Thank you so much. I really really appreciate that. Thank you so much <3

If one doesn't care about the direction of the motor, can one just attach the External Interrupt to call the ISR when the signal at PIN 2 goes from LOW o HIGH?

Hello friends,
I’m using arduino Due to read incremental rotary encoder by simulink, there is no block in sinulink to do that.
I tried with external interrupt example in matlab 2020a but it is reading only in one direction and just increasing, so it should be readings in clockwise and counterclockwise.
Aslo I tried with encoder S-Function in Device Driver examples but also does not work.
Your help please .....
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the encoder part.
Attached is a preliminary implementation of a PID Speed Controller for a DC motor with encoder.
The circuit is a low side FET to the pin 5 of the ATMEGA (PWM output) and pins 2 and 3 go to the encoders as input.
The PID parameters and scopes are tuneable.

Hi, can you give me the block diagram in version R2014a. Thank you. I'm helpless doing this project. I really really appreciate your support. Thank you again

Hello Azlin, unfortunately I do not have R2014a but you can easily redraw it in your version from the image attached of the Simulink diagram.
Have fun
Daniel

Hola, Hello Daniel Velazquez
Thank you for providing these useful files.
May I kindly ask you to provide a small clirification about some blocs in the encoder function.
1- for the gain 60/485. Why we exactly need to choose these values. Are thery related to the encoder type, or they remain valid for any other encoder.
2- for the bloc with gain of 0.1. What is the role of this bloc with exactly 0.1 gain.
3- How to change the sampling time of the S-Function block "Ts".It remains always 0.1 even we have changed it in the workspace.
GRACIAS

Daniel could you explain how we obtain response curve?
