Encoder as in the guide, but with additional board

1

Hello,

We are trying to assemble 2DoF leg test stand, and we have ordered encoders as in the components sheet. But when they arrived, I found that there is an external board attached to the encoder, that has 10 output pins instead of 5 original, see related picture. The marking (series, all the numbers) are exactly the same as in the reference photos in the repo.

I have googled that for some time, but there are only datasheets for the original encoder and for another ones that have 10 pins.

I will be glad for a piece of advice about the following:

  1. is it possible to use such an encoder instead of the original one (from
    encoder_with_board
    the readme files in the repo)?
  2. should I remove the additional board and reduce the problem of the encoder installation to the known one?

All in all, I will be thankful for any information on the topic.

Yours,
Ilya

Hello IIya,

interesting - I have never seen this version of the encoder.

You’ll definitely have to unsolder or cut off the interface board.

If it’s the AEDT-9810-Z00 encoder and if the pins remain long enough to connect the wires it should work.

Best,
Felix
