Simple hardware for Endat 2.2 implementation

Hi Samuel,

Any FPGA is fine. I recall building an Endat interface with a FLEX10K device (which is really old).

You should use a Cyclone IV device.

Do you have the user manual for the encode you are using. If I recall correctly, they have a serial interface with RS485 logic levels. Its pretty easy to create a state machine to read the serial encoder position and write it as a parallel word. I'm not sure what a dSpace station is. If you send me links I can take a look at the data sheets.

I can try to dig up the VHDL code I wrote too.

You don't have enough posts to post links yet, so just send them to my forum name (its my email address).

Cheers,

Dave
