Hi Oliver, I designed a simple cape a few months ago and had 20 boards fabbed. It uses TBD62083 buffer chips for 5-24V I/O. I designed it with KiCad. I found one mistake on it, and have to add pull up resistors to eight pins. If you'd be interested in either a bare pcb or just the KiCad files, I

Good day, I've got a pick & place machine equipped with DC servo motors and 20 um glass scales for position feedback. The scales have index marks at approx. 15 cm intervals. The index marks are used to compensate for any counting errors since the previous index positions. If, say, only 7300 ti
