I am trying to plug the rotary-pulse converter directly into the Arduino, unfortunately all the combinations did not work and there are no pulses to the controller.
Please guide - what am I doing wrong, why am I doing wrong and how to solve this problem?
The encoder has a DSUB output - I makeded the cable so that on one side there was a connector (compatyble with encoder), and on the other side there were pins for Arduino. I would like to get communication with it.
If you have a breadboard, some leds and a few resistors, you can easily make a setup to verify the connections on your encoder (and your custom cable). That's what I'd do in your situation. Apart from the obvious continuity check with a DMM to verify the cable & connectors are all in good order.
Thanks for the idea! It turned out that the problem is in encoder. I ordered a new component, tomorrow will be and then I try connected to Arduino again.
