How to know pulses per revolution for my wheel encoder ?

3 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to use some of functions in this example : https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/examples/steer-two-wheel-robot.html
Now when I create the Rotary encoder object, I have to specify pulses per revolution.
I know counts or number of ticks per revolution for my encoders which is 4480. I have read that pulses per revolution would be this number divided by 4, is that so ?
in this case, I tried to make test for this value (4480/4). However, the readings are not so correct.

Where? To me ticks per rev and pulses per rev would mean exactly the same thing. But to be sure, consult the documentation of your encoder.

I checked the specifications of the encoder and they only mentioned Counts per revolution.
This is the encoder i am using: https://www.pololu.com/product/2825
