If you want me to make a config with the free SSERIAL port on a 7I77 used for SSI just ask
Hereby asking - Lascar says 3 weeks delivery time for the 7i74
Thank you!
Regarding the rest of your mail, that makes more sense than a grey pin and a binary pin per SSI. Thanks for your suggestions!
best regards,

Has just one SSI interface on the 7I77s RS422/485 expansion port
Note that this expansion port is a RS-485 capable interface so has a /XMIT
enable on GPIO-0 you will need to set low by making GPIO-0 an output and setp-ing it low
in your hal file

GrayCode (bit) binary if false, graycode if true
Why would you use Gray code on a serial protocol?

SSI is either grey or binary coded...
Ist SSI specific.

SSI is just a shift register, easy to integrate. So you stay where you are with what you have and extend it?

so always used gray codes to prevent large errors at transitions
probably most early SSI encoders used simple logic circuits to
serialize the parallel gray code data. Converting to binary at the
encoder is a newer innovation.

Questions:
- What Signals are really needed? velocity, position, ?
- Velocity can be calculated as in encoder.c?
