What is the recommended way to implement a new encoder in the VESC firmware?

I am looking to implement a new absolute encoder via the hardware SPI interface.

For encoder details see: https://www.rls.si/eng/orbis-true-absolute-rotary-encoder

What is the recommended way to implement that:

  1. Add to the  "encoder.c" and "encoder.h" code
  2. Add the code in a separate file included/referenced in the "encoder.c" and "encoder.h" files
  3. Create a custom application

Thanks,

Toma

Did you ever figure this out? Looking into the AM4096 chip series (specifically the RMB20) and I'll have to figure this out too, albeit a different implementation.
