Wonderful explanation . I guess now that you have explained constant speed motor drives and now encoders.... the next logical move is servo motors!! Not the radio control type , the industrial automation type;) Look forward to watching more of your channel and learning .
Unfortunately faulty encoders are tricky to test without a specific instrument that basically compares pulses vs angle, count them and check the maximum throughput. A simple tester can be made with an Arduino, a precision photocoupler and a rig for the encoder to test. Also an oscilloscope is required as well.
cool video. even circuit explained
Excellent work.

You guessed right.
How can one know if an encoder is faulty? I have an encoder that I use for a project but I keep getting wrong values for the angle of rotation.

You forgot one! I'd bet the most used version would be the ones in digital calipers. They been making them for decades.
You are right! I forgot the capacitive encoder (used in calipers) but also the magneto-inductive.
Coooool
