Re: Talon SRX Missing Encoder Counts in Labview

Update today: (2-11-2015)

As I thought, the US Digital S5 encoders are all "ok", but I wanted a professional opinion so I asked US Digital to review the videos. Here is their response. Which is positive. Thank you US Digital.

"Based on the videos of the scope I would say that the US Digital encoders are working properly. The small blip that you see on the A channel is some minor cross-talk between the A and B channels. In the video it does not appear significant enough to interfere with the motor controller. The size of the blip is dependent on the length of the cable, so if the cable is longer in your application then the blip might be larger in practice. A pull-up resistor on the A/B channels should eliminate this, typically anything between 2.2k-10k ohms is acceptable."
