Re: Low Cost Encoders

Got the encoders today.

5 wires each
A & B
Vcc / System ground
Shield ground

Color code in Mandarin Chinese.
Actually not a problem.

Black = system ground
Red = Vcc
Shield ground is black higher gauge or bare
White, Yellow, Green are A & B

Will power them up tomorrow.
These are likely too big for AndyMark gear boxes without shaft couplers and spacers.
