The manual pulse generator wheel sounds real intresting..Would you post a wiring diagram when yours is done ? Would help a lot of people understand how that would work...I can see some real advantages to a system like that for quick X0Y0Z0 placement.

Thanks

I think the wiring is pretty simple - I believe the encoder has two quadrature outputs which give enough info to work out which direction it is turning as well as how fast. The magic is all done by Mach 3, which reads the inputs from the dial and converts them to jogs back out to the motors. Have a look at the instructions on the littlemachine shop page - they seem pretty good to me.

Cheers.
