Hi Raphael, The encoders A and B voltages normally flip between 0 and 5 volts. They are staggered, so they rarely both read 5 volts. When they are moving, they should read about 2.5 volts (averaging t

Hi Raphael, The encoder signals must flop between near zero and +5 volts - it is a square wave signal. Since you are always measuring near 5 volts that means your encoders are NOT sending a signal to

I've just repeated he test and measured the A and B on the connector on the controller: They read 4.98 volts, the same as when the motors are fully stoped

Hi Dan Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It is a Servo Controller II. Reviewing your instructions: Second step: “uncheck both of the “Man” checkboxes”. To do so one must check the “Auto” checkboxes

Did you look at the other Mot[ ]Loc in case the encoders were wired to the wrong inputs (alt to az)? Also, do the experiment again. WHen you have the motor moving slowly, both the A and the B should b

Hi Dan, I just followed the steps prescribed and yes, I got the altitude gear moving slowly clockwise and it would speed up as I moved the slider as you said it would. I had for the first time total c

Hi Dan Sorry for the delay. I had no access to the telescope until now. Thanks for the advice. Let me try the steps right now and I'll let you know.
