Hello Jon. Well, the encoders that are already installed on one of our machines are labelled with the Index pulse. The thing is I can't read the pulse with halscope for example.
I just tried to use the home using only index pulse and apparently the index pulse is working because the axis latches until it stops and it turns always a single turn more or less eyeballing it. The strange thing is I that I can't trigger the scope with the index pulse on LinuxCNC, and also I can't measure the index on my other encoders. I guess I should try to wire them to a LinuxCNC pc and make home manually to see if they work ok. 2016-07-13 14:29 GMT-03:00 Jon Elson <[email protected]>: > On 07/13/2016 08:56 AM, Leonardo Marsaglia wrote: > > Hello to all. > > > > We just tested some Heindenhain encoders and as happened with other > > encoders we can't sense the index pulse.
