Function rc_encoder_eqep_init

Function Documentation

int rc_encoder_eqep_init(void)

Initializes the eQEP encoder counters for channels 1-3.

This also resets the encoder position to 0 so the first position read is consistent. Note this does NOT initialize the PRU-accelerated encoder counter on channel 4. To use the 4th channel you must use <rc/encoder_pru.h>

Returns

0 on success or -1 on failure
