Connect The Wires
There are two sets of wires which will need to be connected:
- The Arduino to the encoder
- The Arduino to the EZ-B
Encoder Connect the encoder wires to your Arduino pins 2 and 3. These pins are interrupt pins. The code will count the number of changes between HIGH and LOW state of these pins.
- pin 2: Encoder #1
- pin 3: Encoder #2
EZ-B Connect the Arduino's TX and RX ports to the UART #0 of the EZ-B. Consult the ez-b datasheet to locate the UART #0 port.
- Connect EZB UART 0 TX to ARDUINO RX
- Connect EZB UART 0 RX to ARDUINO TX
- Connect Arduino GND to EZ-B GND
