Casey, Yes, you did the measurements correctly, but there is some confusion in my mind about the EncRD signal. Certainly with no load connected the voltage on U3 pin 14 should be 3.3 volts or higher. So U3 must be replaced for certain.
Just as clarification, 0.4 volts is equal to zero in the digital realm and 0.46 is equal to 5 volts nominal - the data is "binary", so it is either ON or OFF - in other words, less than 1 or 2 volts and greater than 3.5 volts for TTL levels. One more check on the encoder - see if leads 3 and 4 switch voltages together - if they do, there is something shorted in the encoder and it must be replaced. If they are independent, replace only U3 and test again. Sorry for the lack of a definite answer, and I understand that VK-land is not a 2 to 3 day parts request to delivery time, but based on the info I have, that is the best answer I could muster. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/17/2012 7:17 PM, TI2/NA7U wrote: > Yes, I remember that Enc B was fine last time, also, but it's definitely not > now. > > One correction to my previous post, when the encoder is connected the > voltage on Enc B and Enc RD vary between .4-.46V, not from zero. > > With the encoder pins 3 and 4 disconnected and measuring directly at the > encoder pins I see the voltage hold about 4.4V on both 3 and 4.
