Hi All,

I've got a simple machine that uses a single stepper motor controlled by a kstep. That's working fine but now I want to add an encoder to it. Problem is that I don't know where to attach it. Seeing as the kstep hogs all the JP7 pins I was thinking of putting it on the JP5 connector on IO 36 and 37.

Problem is that I don't know how to properly set the input and output channels. I've got the output channels set to 8 since that is what the kstep requires, but I don't know the reason why. I don't know how to set the input channels to use encoder input from the IO I have selected. Or if only certain IO can be used for encoders.

What should I set my input channel to be in order to use an encoder on IO 36 and IO 37? Can someone point me to some documentation that would explain this.

Encoder is a generic quadrature type with A and B pulses.
