We are working with the STM32 Nucleo-G474RE board and using two quadrature encoders—NEMA 23 and NEMA 34—connected through AM26LS32 line receivers to TIM2 and TIM3 respectively, configured in encoder mode. In our project, we initialized TIM2 and TIM3 with `CounterMode_UP`, no prescaler, and appropriate encoder mode settings. We initially tested with pull-down resistors and counter mode set to down, but encountered erratic behavior: encoder counts would overshoot, then suddenly reset to 0 or toggle between 0 and 1. We then tried changing the GPIO configuration to pull-up with counter mode set to up, but received no response from the encoders. Despite using `HAL_TIM_Encoder_Start()` and observing the encoder signals on an oscilloscope (which looked clean), the counter readings remained unstable or stuck. We are using the ITM SWV output to log values via printf. We would appreciate any insights or suggestions from the STM32 community on solving this encoder reading issue, especially in terms of correct GPIO configuration or timer settings for reliable quadrature decoding using the AM26LS32 with differential signal inputs.code is written below
