Yes they should be on TB5, my bad, was thinking of analog inputs somehow.
Can you also check encoder.1 with hal meter ?

Works!
What i did. I took the second MPG handwheel i had lying around and connected all 4 wires to the terminals but without the resistors. Halmeter shows counts!

EDIT: and of course i changed the white and blue wire back to TB5

To speed things up a bit, i am going to eat something and grab one of my 7i77 and a 5i25 or 6i25 if i can find them and do a mock up for testing, and some encoders. Back in 20 to 30 minutes.

Great stuff! I did say I did not use resistors!

Okay, one MPG works, but the one where the resistors were wired, does not work. I put all wires back to the first MPG, but of course without the resitors and hal does not show the counts.
Have wired up the second mpg again, halmeter shows counts. Back again to the first= no counts.
Is it possible that the MPG got damaged because of the resistors? (2k0 resistors)
