Hello again, first off thank to all the suggestions about the encoders I was asking about. I think I'm just gonna go with the requirement of zero'ing position prior to milling any part.
My new question has to do with the servo drive's input. When it should be at 0v, the input to the drive sits at about 21mV, which causes the motor to drift slowly, I though this might just mean the "balance" pot needs to be adjusted, but turning it all the way in either direction has no effect. it's been a while since I've dealt with anything on this level, but I was wondering to myself could this be an impedance mismatch issue? maybe I should try a pullup or pulldown resistor? I read in the manual something about the 7i33 already having one or the other, I'll be lookin into that again today, I just wanted to see if anyone had any immediate suggestions or had encountered this before.
