Back from holidays, finally got to dig a little deeper with the oscilloscope. I managed to figure out the polarity of the connections and alas, I am now receiving the response from the encoder!

Some values are showing up on my HAL Show and now I need to figure out if everything is working correctly and whether or not I need to create a custom setup string.

After a slight turn (a few degrees) of the motor shaft in the reverse direction my HAL show reads:

 

Suggestions for next steps are encouraged.

I have not found any formal documentation on the encoders or any note in the machine’s schematics, so I don’t know.

You did say in a previous response that you thought my encoders are 1M units per revolution, in response to a post where I provided the model number.

Tomorrow I will do more testing - I will try to verify one complete rotation and see how the counts check out.
