I had noticed something about posts however there has been a lot of talk concerning one pulse encoders started by your um good self and the els uses more.
The ELS kit uses a single pulse sensor …
Whoops. I had looked at the parts list and noticed a 64p encoder some time ago but hadn't noticed that it was mounted on the PCB.
Bigger laugh – that does make keeping the motor speed as constant as possible relevant to the thread.
I don't think the code is open source which is a pity but can understand why. It would probably get pinched by some other commercially orientated outfit. This often happens even on OS but it just usually annoys people who did the work. Some of the heavier stuff has been done by universities anyway. Actually people would be gob smacked by how much software originated from that source especially off unix. Many now famous names. Mind you a lot have progressed further since that happened.
