Tutorial: How to use CG7-RB60 Digital Prescaler

The CG7-RB60 is a digital prescaler with a 6-bit preselection counter designed for multifunction encoders. It is ideal for makers and engineers working on mechanical or optical feedback systems.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• USB connection from computer to Arduino
• Multifunction Encoder 72WX72HX100L
• JST cable to connect the encoder to the prescaler
• Arduino IDE development software

Steps

1. Connect the multifunction encoder 72WX72HX100L to the CG7-RB60 using the JST cable.
2. Configure the input and output pins of the prescaler according to the specifications in the encoder’s datasheet.
3. Open Arduino IDE, create a new sketch and include the necessary libraries to manage the encoder.
4. Write the sketch that reads data from the CG7-RB60 and sends it to the Arduino.
5. Verify the connection between the prescaler and the Arduino using the serial monitor in Arduino IDE.
6. Program the 6-bit preselection counter to select the desired signal division of the encoder.
7. Test the prescaler’s functionality with different input values and observe the output on the serial monitor.
8. Optimize the code to improve the precision and resolution of the data received from the encoder.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int value = readEncoder();
  Serial.println(value);
}

Mini project
