I am only familiar with vintage 80s Okuma encoders.
and the answer is - I see nothing that will give incremental output.
and I wouldn't expect it to anyways. The two I have were on DC brush motors
with tach drives.
Linuxcnc would need some changes to be able to use the absolute feedback
directly.
Though maybe a component to convert the absolute to incremental and a home pulse
similar to the BLDC component? Andy - what you think?
Stuart - do you still want the ones I have?
I could post pics too if anyone interested - they are pretty weird - I am
guessing resolver like.
