That was one long thread! Boiling down what I've found, the take away message seems to be that the original TTL output Z axis encoder was prone to noise, and in your 14th post, you tried a differential encoder, which happened to be a CUI. Unfortunately, the gmane search results (33 of your posts) ended without a statement of outcome. The last I can see is a six point list of outstanding issues. (Now if gmane provided a usable thread view [1], I'd know if the thread continued, under a new subject, to provide enlightenment. I'm grateful though, even for that 14th post, because there you say "I've mounted a new CUI differential encoder ..." The Digi-Key part 102-1788-ND, nominated on another thread, is "TTL voltage output". (Perhaps that's what the -ND means.) I'll go looking for a differential CUI encoder forthwith. And if some way to view an old gmane thread exists, then I'll see if I can work it out. Erik [1] Searching within the emc-user thread view throws me out to a dumb list of 33 hits, devoid of thread context. -- In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." - Terry Pratchett ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
