Quadrature Encoder Issue
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 11:36 am
I am attempting to use the MCP260A to control 2 separate motor/encoders. I have successfully connected one pair consisting of: https://www.anaheimautomation.com/manua ... 0Index.pdf and https://www.andymark.com/CIM-Motor-p/am-0255.htm. I have these components as M1 & ENC1 and can read/control them in IonStudio.
I am, however, having difficulty connecting this motor/encoder: https://www.servocity.com/313-rpm-hd-pr ... -w-encoder to M2 & ENC2. In IonStudio I have control of the motor but am not receiving encoder info. I have verified the encoder is receiving +5v from MCP and it is returning +-1.6v signal. Regardless of which input mode I set DIN8 and DIN10 to, I get no signal in IonStudio.
I noticed in this document: http://downloads.ionmc.com/docs/mcp260_datasheet.pdf that DIN7 and DIN9 have ENC1A / HALL1 input and attempted swapping the motor/encoder pairs, to no improvement.
