Encoder for Acorn lathe project
Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2021 11:08 am
(Disregard the screen name, I also have a big Bridgeport II with an antique Centroid control {would like to find a quill gearbox to change the z axis to the quill instead of the air assisted knee})
Name is Bill, 73 year old retired, Vietnam, machinist, Aircraft mechanic-Inspector rebuild antique tube and fabric airplanes, Hotroder, BA-Journalism
So. I purchased the pro package and installed it. tried to get my encoder working but no luck. Still on "bench" (coffee table in den, it is close to 100 here in central Texas)
Encoder is a:
Sumtak "optcoder"
Type:LBJ-302-2000
DC 5V 80mA
0011-1141 2000p/r
How I wired it:
Encoder Acorn
wht 5v pin 9
blk 0v pin 2
red A pin 7
grn B pin 8
ylw Z pin 6
pnk 0v
blu 0v
orn 0v
tried it this way and nothing. Did go to the wizard and setup for encoder. then tried all different combinations of the pnk, blu and orn to pins 3, 4 and 5 to see if It also had to have the "-", still no encoder.
Any suggestions?
P/S Marty's videos on you tube were fantastic for getting me up and running. Had all kinds of "gremlins" and was able to work them out.
Thanks,
Bill
