hi,
can you please add support for phidget encoder 1047 (both generations),
in direct connected usb mode and thru phidget webserver.

i played around with it some time ago,
was able to register the device (thru phidget web server)
but it seems there are no commands to actually access the encoder values and do something with it...

best,
Roman

Hi Roman,

you are correct Phidget Encoder 1047 is not supported at the moment.

Can you describe a little how you want to use it.
What are the commands and values you are looking for.

At the moment we do offer the NETLink that can handle Sensor inputs, but I agree having this module implemented would be nice.

Do you have a current Project where you need that?

hi,
i build my own lens encoder system, utilizing the encoder 1047...
---
what i would need is to read out current encoder value absolut (not the interval change... so i get a positive and/or negative value...)
as well being able to set refresh rate (by default set to i think 256ms, 8ms being the min, that would be required for tracking)
---
currently i use WD mostly with unreal engine..., either thru osc or udp, as my control interface...

looking forward, with notch in v8, i could see that a lot of the camera tracking now also needs to be interfaced with PB...
haven't looked about the supported tracking systems,
but,
in addition to the encoder,
support for steamVR and VRPN in WD would be great too
(for the lower budget things...)

best,
Roman
