Motor Position Sensor

[lake_of_fire]

Hi

I need to be able to count the pulses from an optical encoder connected to a quadrature clock converter that is then connected to a PIC18,

I was going to count the pulses using timer0, is there a way to count down these pulses when the motor direction is reversed so that motor position can be monitored

The converter i plan to use is an LM7184 which provides pulses and a digital up/down line.

Thanks for any advice

Hi I would like to know if I can use the time0 to count pulses up and down?

Alternatively I could use the grey code sequence to increment and decrement a counter
