General Mach Discussion / mach cant remember z axis reading

« on: April 18, 2010, 12:21:50 PM »

I am new to the board and mach3. I am using the ajax plugin to control my motion controler. My question is when I turn my controler on all the dro remembers what positions I was in except for the z axis. I know the encoder is working because I can turn the motor shaft and the dro works. I just loose my reading if I reboot. Thanks for any input. Scott

General Mach Discussion / Re: Axis X encoder error

Hey kiloone,
I have the ajax dc drive and I seem to have the same problem except I have line drive output encoders with a high output of 2.5v and a low of .5v.  I am getting the same error message that you got and the reset button will not reset. Dro's are working just as you said.  My question to you is where did you get the pullups? Where do you mount them? Closer to the encoder or closer to the MPU11? Do you only have to do the A, /A or all channels? Thanks scott
