After some troubleshooting I found that the encoder on the X axis servo is not counting. I ohm checked all the wires back to the TNC 155b Heindenhain controller and they are good. My question, is there a way to check the outputs of the encoder to confirm that it is bad and not something in the TNC controller. I've attached photos of the encoder, which I believe is a light emitting diode type of encoder.
Any help from the expects out there>
Dave smith of Philly saiid I should ship it to Clarkson co. in IL and that it could cost up to a $1000, ouch, so if I can verify and or get a replacement I I can change it out myself.
