Tracking Axis movement with Rotary Encoders (5 replies)

Hi Guys,

I'm currently building my own CoreXY printer, as my Geeetech clone is on its way out so using one last time to build my next printer.

Now I want to see if i can get rid of using end stops and replace them with rotary encoders to accurately track the axis position (alleviating the need for regular re-calibration), looking to use these optical encoders [www.ebay.com.au]

My Question is, what input do I use on the board to read the pulses from the encoder, also is there a routine in Marlin that can read this input, or am I looking at making a modification to marlin myself.

Talk Soon
