One Power Supply for motor and arduino

Hi all,

I am using an Uno to run my 12 V dc motor and my encoder sensor for a bench system. I want to run my motor for 1 million + cycles around 60 rpm to test the longevity of my mechanical pully system.

I am using only the z output signal of my encoder to keep count of my cycles. I am using a BTS7960 motor driver and a variable power supply. Currently I have my pc powering the arduino and the PS for the motor driver. Since I need this to run for several days, I want to use my singular power supply for all components, how would I modify the wiring to do this.

Electrically everything works now after testing with my code. I drew out the system. OUTA and OUTB on the encoder are unused. The Vcc, GND, R_IS, L_IS on the motor driver are unused. R_EN and L_EN are both on pin 8 and R_PWM and L_PWM are pins 9 and 10.

Thanks in advance!

For what ?

O-I-C, there is a question (no question mark)

Since the Arduino providing only control signals, low-power stuff, I think using the barrel jack will suffice.
Opinions will vary.
