Re: Encoder Output Problems

I emailed my electronics mentor and he said that I may need a pull-up resistor. I've never used an oscilloscope before, my dad bought this (industry grade) one home from his work, so it's really complicated...

I also posted on another forum, and they said DC50 is wrong
Quote:
that requires substantial DC drive. Basically in 50Ω mode the scope places a 50Ω resistor to across the probes tip and gnd.
I put it in DCM1Ω and I am now getting back correct square waves.

Thanks for the help =)
