Good Day, I’m new to the forum I have been using a 9Nm Simucube 1 wheel for the past few years using a 80ST series motor with IONI Pro and 400w PSU. I needed a motor for another application so decided now would be a good time to upgrade my wheel motor to a 130ST-M10010 small Mige and I can use my old motor for the other app. I may have naively purchased the cheapest 130ST-M10010 from Aliexpress which comes with a 2500ppr encoder, is this compatible with my Simucube? Is it worth using or should I hunt down another encoder, they don’t seem easily available anymore. I think my old motor has a 10000ppr encoder, but it doesn’t look possible to swap.
I initially plugged it in and used Granity to change the motor settings, but was not getting any encoder feedback. Looking at the encoder wiring it seems I need to reorder the wires, but cannot work out what order they need to be.
I guessed A, B, C (Simucube) = A, B, Z (encoder), and Hall_W, Hall_V, Hall_U (Simucube) = W+, V+, U+ (encoder), but what do I do with the W-, V- and U-? I did try running it with this wiring and now get some numbers for the encoder, but it only counts in one direction and not smoothly.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Chris
