RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Major encoder trouble, need advice.

I'm about to use a pair of E4P encoders in a little MicroMouse project.
Turns out moving a MicroMouse by position profiles is very similar to CNC!
I'm hoping that I don't have problems with my encoders.

Short cables, and smaller servo motors, so maybe I'll be OK.

Hi Randy,

Your $0.02 is as appreciated as anything else!

All measurements have been made at the connector where the signals enters
the drive electronics. I haven't looked at them at the encoder end, partly
because it's hard to access them there.... ;-/

The cable I'm using for the USDigital E7P encoder is 300mm long and is sold
BY USDigital to be used with THIS encoder so I'll be damned if it isn't the
correct one... I initially used this cable which was then extended with my
ordinary cable but when that didn't work I thought I'd use the USDigital
supplied cable until I get THAT working - that's almost four weeks ago :-(

The shield of the encoder cable is now connected at the star-point GND but
was previously connected to GND in the encoder connector on the drive - and
there only. It made no difference moving it.

Thanks!
/Henrik.
