General Mach Discussion / Re: Axis X encoder error
« on: April 12, 2010, 07:00:04 AM »
Scott,
Glad to hear you have the Ajax drive and MPU11. I am happy now with mine, just a couple small outstanding items.
Scott Pratt at Ajax did provide me with a beta plugin, I am surprised you do not have it. It is an 8mb file named 'Mach 1.07b68.rar'.
Email me at kci@vaxxine.com, I'll put it on one of my sites and send you a link to it.
Their xml setup file has two new parameters that have been added (StopOnEncoderError and MessageOnEncoderError) and I set them both to 0, then I could finally carry on to tune the system.
I put my pullups on a buss bar between the encoders and the board. If you have the 2.5v to .5 volt signals, nice and square already, you probably don't need to fool around with trying to get a higher level signal, just use the new plugin and parameters.
