Re: Encoders - how to tell PPR

Hello,

How about a logic probe and your eyes? If it's a real high count, it
will be hard to turn slowly enough, but by using a large diameter
disk to turn the encoder (can be cardboard) you should be able to get
close.

Hope this helps.

P.S. Some types can be opened up. Count the slots.
