I connected a spare encoder to my MESA 5i20 & 7i33 board, counts fine, worked first try...
I've been trying to get the actual lathe encoders to count and so far, no luck. I get a velocity reading when I move the ballscrews by hand, but the position readout doesn't change. Is there a way to use hal meters or scope to show the state of my encoder channel A, B, & Index? I tried setting the scope up to show inputs 0 - 7 from the Mesa board but it didn't show anything. Would this be because the inputs are configured for encoders and not Inputs? Do I need to make an alternate configuration to see the individual encoder channels as Inputs. Unfortunately I don't have things set up to be easy to work on, I can't hold my meter leads on terminals and reach the encoders to turn them. Thanks!
