Hi All
This is a two piece aluminium cover to protect a stepper motor encoder, when it is finally fitted to the rotary table project I am currently working on.

Cool. With my friends we are assessing to develop a board to control a stepper motor with encoder feedback to make a closed loop driver, what driver are you planning to use?
Hi
I was very lucky to be given a expensive controller but I have used a cheap Micro-step Driver Controller TB6600 from Ebay. I am going to build a CNC mill (eventually:confused:) so will use the better controller on that project for a fourth axis.
To control the counts of the encoder I have used an Arduino Nano and the rest is driven via an Arduino Mega. I wish I could take credit for all the work but I have a great 4th year electronics apprentice working in our Lab at the moment and with out his input and help with the programming and wiring issues I have come up against, this project would probably be in a bottom draw or a cupboard, never to be seen again. To see the stepper motor move and the encoder count is fantastic :thumbsup:.
Until I made a catastrophic error in wiring the encoder to the motor supply and blowing the two chips on the encoder PCB:brickwall:.
At the time of writing this we are changing the chips (when I say we, I mean the royal we :smash:)
I think we will overcome this miner little incident by replacing the two blown chips with new ones. Again when I say miner incident I was so cross with myself as it was all working yesterday and only needed tidying up and a coupling making to join the stepper motor to rotary table.
Not sure Claudio HG if this has answered your question :headscratch:
Yes it had, and even has added a good conversational feeling :)Quote:
