This is what you see if one of the A or B channels has stopped working. You can probably see this with halscope. What I suspect has happened is that you have added another DC source to the mix with a different 0V reference, and that has exceeded the common-mode limit of the encoder inputs (this only makes sense if your encoder is wired as differential pairs. And jumpered accordingly) If your encoders are wired single-ended, then it's probably the same root cause, and, in fact, it's easier to get this problem single-ended (if you _can_ wire as different pairs, then you really should) If there are terms here that are unfamiliar I am happy to explain further. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
