Have used a variety of encoders from multiple vendors for motor position counting, but have standardized on encoders from USDigital in last couple of years. Have successfully used their E5, E4T & E8T optical kit encoders. Personally prefer encoders, like the E5 with index support. Recently purchased...

I received the MIMXRT1170-EVK a bit earlier than expected. At 1Ghz, it is rated more than twice the CoreMark of the Teensy 4.0/4.1. Wonder how difficult it would be to add to the list of supported Teensy processors for MicroPython.

The dual core i.MX RT1170 MCU runs on the Arm® Cortex®-M7 core at 1 GHz and Arm Cortex-M4 at 400 MHz should be a nice follow-on to this Teensy work. It seems to be already shipping but backorder at most places like Mouser.
