No. I don't have any use for it at the moment. Just bought it to test it out.

I finally got my Chinese Omron clone encoder in...took a while but it made it. I connected it to a DB9 breakout board...super easy to get working and it seems to work well! My orange wires were yellow, just as Marty's were. I haven't opened it up yet but from the outside, it looks okay. The cable has a weird chemical smell to it that stinks up my work area. :lol: I've been noticing that most, if not all, the Chinese stuff I've bought has weird plastic that emits an unpleasant odor...yuck. :shock:

Anyway, I plan to use the encoder on my mini lathe. I'll have to figure out how to get it mounted and am hoping Franco shows back up here with some stuff I can print out and use. :lol:
