Reading digital pulses from PWM on RoBoard RB-110

2014-04-24T13:03:24+01:00

We are using RB-110 to build a robot. In the project we need to read data from digital encoder. This encoder sends digital pulses.

We're trying to capture flanks from the pulses using

rcservo_InPin(RCSERVO_PINS5)

As we understand, this gives as current digital value of the pulse. When we use a while loop to track changes the system seems to be too slow. Specs say that one rotation are 6000 signals, we get about 3000-5000, and it changes all the time.

Any sugestions for a more effective way?

We're using Lubuntu 10.04 from roboard.com webside and RoBoIO library
