I have an application that needs to be able to decode/count the output from a quadrature encoder (A/B pulse output with an N pulse at the zero position) over a longer period of time than the internal buffer is able to capture. I have managed to make it work by using the Digital Discovery's acqmodeRecord streaming capture and processing the samples in my application, but this will only work at lower rates than are ideal.
It seems like it should be comparatively simple for the hardware within the Digital Discovery to decode ABN signals as a "protocol" and output the current count value. Is it possible to achieve this at the moment, or to add it in the future?
