Help with 7i77 Fwd & Reverse Pulse Train

Okay, with the Hal Meter here is what I am getting:

hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.input-index - alternates between TRUE & FALSE
hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.velocity - changes to a very small negative number -.00xxxxxxxxxx

Everything else on that encoder remains unchanged when I turn the handle.

Do you get +3.9V at some positions?
if you ever get any close to 0V across the A and /A or B and /B you have a wrong connection

No, it stayed negative the entire time and only went between -3.9v and -3.75 but not more or less. Is my polarity wrong? Should it be +3.9?

If you don get both + and - voltage across A and /A , B and /B and Z and /Z (and never 0V)
you have a mis-connect or open signal

I'm in! I have encoder Position and count on the Hal meter! I can even see movement on the preview window of linuxcnc when I turn the handle.

Unfortunately, i still have the joint access error whenever I try to move, however.

I think this thread hopped the tracks...
please put this in the Joint 0 following error thread

forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/38-general-linu...ollowing-error#77466

Sorry about that! I Have several windows open and accidentally posted to the wrong thread.
