Over the weekend, the index on the Z axis of one of our routers decided to stop
working. I checked the cables and can't find a fault. It is connected to a Mesa
5i25/7i77 combo, and I believe the encoder is a Renco RCH20D. Anyone have any
suggestions about diagnosing and fixing the problem?

Thanks! That makes sense

I'm working on adding software encoder support to the BeagleBone PRU
code. Counting up/down is easy, but I'm wondering how to deal with the
index pulses. Both the Mesa VHDL code and the existing software encoder
component have quite a variety of options, and I'm wondering if it is
necessary to su
