I see, thanks. And it occurs to me that if the linear strip was wrapped around my mills spindle, that some hal magic might be able to detect the index pulse as a discontinuity in the pulse train as the meeting but dis- contiguous ends of the strip passed under it. OTOH, that pcb's size would seem to demand an above the housing mounting for it. They should have put the chip near the edge of the board for clearance to moving parts. > ________________________________________ > From: Gene Heskett [[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 12:18 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] howto linear encoder > > On Thursday 15 November 2012 15:17:28 andy pugh did opine: > > On 15 November 2012 19:36, Richard Ray <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The "this" above was suposed to be http://wiki.makerbot.com/mle > > > Had a brain fart > > > > So, you need to connect it to the parallel port then run an encoder > > HAL module.
