also just confirming that the hm2_7i92.0.encoder.03.input-index doesn't change state.
I can see a few options to change. should I change to the IDX/ input? or should I change the value of resistor? regards Andrew On Fri, Jul 9, 2021 at 4:46 PM andrew beck <andrewbeck0...@gmail.com> wrote: > just confirming that I hava a 265ohm resistor between ground and the > encoder index input > > > On Fri, Jul 9, 2021 at 4:39 PM Peter C.
