# Raspberry Pi based encoder driver for Copper
This driver is for the Raspberry Pi based encoder driver for Copper.
## Compatibility
Any encoder with a base clock + a direction trigger.
## Usage
Add the driver like any other source in Copper:
```ron
tasks: [
(
id: "src",
type: "cu_rp_encoder::Encoder",
params: {
pin_clt: 17,
pin_dat: 18,
},
),
]
```
The `pin_clt` is the pin for the clock signal and the `pin_dat` is the pin for the direction signal.
When you connect this driver to the rest of the system you need to use the `cu_rp_encoder::EncoderMsg` message type.
```ron
cnx: [
(src: "src", dst: "dst", msg: "cu_rp_encoder::EncoderMsg"),
],
```
It has been tested with a Hall effect encoder like this one:
