Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] motor types

I don't know much about encoders like I said but you could try measuring the
resistance over the three wires with a multimeter. I don't think 5vdc would
hurt anything in there at all, maybe that could be a probe to see where each
goes? I think perhaps one might be a common. How are your table cutter plans
coming along? I'm going more and more tempted to build one myself some day.
