Re: AMT103 encoder ground *WARNING*
Thanks ever so much for this information!!
I had the students go through the three AMT103 encoders on the robot and verify continuity to the frame and found one of the encoders was indeed shorting to the frame. It turned out to be the nut that is holding the mounting plate that we made was touching the encoder case. We just had to turn the nut to rectify it. We have added heat shrink to the nuts for now. We will be replacing the mounting hardware with Lexan instead of aluminum and as you suggested replace the steel bolts with nylon.
Again many thanks and good luck this year!!
Aloha
