Using Motor hall sensors as the encoder

Hello all, im new here, fantastic place, wish i had this 13 years ago when i was building electric SK8 Boards.

any hoo, to the point.

 

First, I would like to use the Use the integrated Motor hall sensors as the encoder for my application.

I need position control, but not really fine control. I just want to count the times the hall is triggered. and calculate distance.

so basically I want to send the hall pulses out the UART or CAN bus. can some one point me to the correct place if this has been discussed before?

 

Second, I would like to set this up similar to a servo, using a step, and direction command. can someone point me in the correct direction if this has been done or can be done? again sending the data via UART or CAN bus.

 

Alternatively i can just send the unit PPM commands, however i still would like to count the hall sensor pulses, not add another encoder.... I make an external controller do the position control according to the hall pulses...

any help or directing me to other related topics would be really helpfully.

Thanks,

~Russ
