SOLO BETA User Manual
Encoder Connection for Brushed DC motors:
For DC motors if you want to control the Speed using encoders, the order of the connection of
Encoder pulses or the Motor wires is not important, so you can just connect the Motor to outputs
“B” and “C” of SOLO plus the Encoder connected to “Encoder_CHA” and “Encoder_CHB” inputs of
the encoder connecter, While if you want to use the position Control you must follow the
following procedure to correctly connect the Encoder to SOLO:
1. After supplying your Encoder with +5V from SOLO or externally, Connect the Motor to
SOLO and Turn the Motor in Counter Clockwise direction , you can just run SOLO in open
loop mode to move your motor in C.C.W direction, or you can do this manually.
2. Observe which Pulse of the Encoder’s output leads the other one in this counter clockwise
direction while the shaft of the motor is facing you. After finding out, you need to connect
the leading pulse to “Encoder_CHA” and the other pulse to “Encoder_CHB” inputs of
SOLO. The output wires order to the Motor from SOLO after this step should remain
unchanged.
