Re: Optical encoder not returning values

Quick question for anyone. I just got back to the team and saw that they incorrectly hooked the encoders to the Analog I/O and not digital. I believe that the encoder were over-voltaged. They seem to have failed high, lights illuminates, but no pulse on the O-scope. Anyone have any luck with Overvoltage and still operational?
