MSA 665 linear Encoder

Hi Tim
I figured it out, that part is working nicely !

What I want to do is plot a profile from a small Camshaft into Solidworks either Directly from X & Y Coordinates using a Linear and Rotary Encoder and just left click to create the point in CAD then join the Dots with a spline.
Taking this a step further I took a cheapo Serial PS2 PC mouse apart and started messing around inside with the X & Y axis and connected the 2 Encoders and the Cursor moves nicely.

Does any one now of any open source Drivers or a suitable program for the Humble ol Mouse or this type of interface ?

I will need to set this up so the Encoders have a Scaled or known movement on the screen the Rotary Encoder is 360 PPR and the Linear Encoder has a Grating of 0.04mm ?

Would this be accurate in Windows ?

any thoughts

Thankyou
Thomas

Thomas,

I am not sure which connector you have on the end of the signal cable
so I can give you the pin-outs for the RSF standard connector.

L70 Din

Pin 1 - Ground
Pin 2 - Not used
Pin 3 - A
Pin 4 - B
Pin 5 - 5 volts
Pin 6 - Reference Index
Pin 7 - Shield

Regards,

able to give details for the Wiring diagram +5V, Gnd, ChA, ChB.
