hey andy just to make this crystal clear
do you want me to check with a multimeter between A+/A- and then afterwards separately check between B+/B- that will be slightly hard to do as the encoder is a simulated output or something from the servo drive.. I might need to get another person to help here. Or I could disconnect the encoder in hal and then command a really slow feed for and go behind the machine and test it while it is running to test On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 1:23 PM andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, 21 May 2020 at 02:14, andrew beck <andrewbeck0...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > I am wired up with differential twisted pairs. > > That's a good start. > > > also the 5i25 is connected powering the 7i76 spindle encoder power which > I > > am using (I don't have a external 5v powersupply. > > If you put a multimeter on the A+ / A- and B+ / B- pairs at the 7i76 > termianls and turn the encoder slowly, what do you see? > > (also check that all wires are in the clamp. not under the clamp...) > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 191 > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
