System: Rutex drives, Micro 100 Servo with a HEDS-5605 A06 encoders.
System was running great last week, shut down power, etc.
Go to use it, one axis goes wild, other doesn't until you go to move then continues to spin.
Track it down to encoders. Both are bad now. If I hook up my 3rd motor/encoder (which I had not installed yet) things work.
How did I manage to blow up encoders? Was it a fluke? Did I overcurrent them (BOTH?). I did operate machine successful for about 3 hrs, would think it would have blown during use, not while powered down.
Did a storm somehow affect them, but nothing else electrical, even though it was all off?
I have a resistor from the +5v to each channel A and B per rutex instructions.
Help, need to get it fixed ASAP but don't want to mess it up again.
