Re: Encoder help?

I forgot to mention that I use the C10 from CNC4pc for my BOB. It has a low pass filter on the signal lines for the limit switches which is needed to prevent false triggering of a limit switch without it.

The G320X can can only handle 50MA so you risk burning something out on the G320X is you use it directly. However, you can you an external regulatted 5VDC power supply to run the rm15 encoders.
