Hey back again.... Took a extended break on the project because work got really busy. We managed to buy a VF2 in the mean time. Now I have some more free time and I want to pick up the project again. I just installed one of the encoders and it is working correctly. I have my signal wires on the board as well but I'm confused as to what else I need to get closer to the finish line. I have X Y and Z signal wires all coming out of a conduit along with a XE wire and I don't understand what it's for.
