EDIT: I've re-done this so they are removed from each other and I take the outs I need from the H-Bridge pins PWM and DIR to the Arduino and power them as such.
For the encoder I am removing the board and looking at taking them via the H-Bridge.
Please close
Hi there, apologies for the probably strange title. I'm working on a robot from a previous student at Uni and there is very very little documentation on how it was previously done.
Above is the encoder board with the power going in and then the encoders connected to it. That sits on a backpl.
Above is the two H-Bridges wired up-together.
Here is a connection coming from the H-Bridges going to the backpl that has the encoder board on it.
Another view of the encoder
This is how the H-Bridges are wired up.
So yeah, thats how it's set-up and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to connect those. Do I do it from just either the H-Bridge to Arduino or Encoders to Arduino or do I do both. Or is it those to the i2c bus.
Any help would be helpful, I can't find any more on this and am unsure how to move on.
I think the first step is to map-out and draw a circuit diagram for the system, this
isn't doable just from a few photos, you need to check what each connection to each
board does and write it all down, they draw in the connections between boards on
the backplane - it should start to make sense then.

Hi there, I'm new to doing actual circlet diagrams. I've done plenty of them in regards to logic gates, creating MUX and such. However not to represent a system as such. Where would I begin, how would I represent my H-Bridge etc in regards to it?
Should I be taking the values from the Backplane by use of a chip? Or should I take it from the encoder?
