Any need to set parameters if you’re using a belt drive or are you running 1:1 off the spindle? ...what is the name or part number of the connector you had shown? Thanks.
Search ebay for this: DB9-Male-D-Sub-9-Pin-Plug-Breakout-Terminals-Solderless-Nut-Type-Connector-GX I always run 1:1 from the spindle to the encoder. But, there are some ratio settings in the Centroid software (that I've never tried). That being said, I think you'll get your best results running 1:1
These Omron E6B2-CWZ1X encoders sell for $25 on eBay but I highly doubt they are genuine. Where did you get yourse? I checked on Mouser and it is $345.
Here is the eBay store I buy them from: stores.ebay.com/921812799shu?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Seach for: Omron Rotary Encoder 2000 P/R E6B2-CWZ1X E6B2CWZ1X
The board and the software are from a company called Centroid. This system is called the Acorn. www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/acorn_cnc_controller.html
Hi. The Acorn has only one encoder port for use with the spindle. Otherwise, it only outputs step and direction for the axis motors. However, Centroid has other more powerful boards that have full closed loop capabilities.
Hi Franco, Can provide a link for the DB9 adapter plug, I assumed I would find on Centroid site but not finding it.
Curious did you run a 1:1 belt drive to encoder?

Why are you multiplying the 2000 p/r by 4 to get 8000? Is that 2000 pulses per lead or something?
Good question. It is based on the encoder. A 2000 line quadrature encoder will generate 8000 pulses per revolution.
What was the circuit board you were using? what program is that?
The board and the software are from a company called Centroid. This system is called the Acorn. www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/acorn_cnc_controller.html
Do you like this over mach? Does it have its own conversational wizards?
Cannot we run encoder in mach 3 in tb6560 cnc breakout board
Negative. You need a more expensive type of board in order to connect an encoder. Look at the Centroid Acorn system.
I have a spindle encoder but I dont have the acorn board I have the mach 3 boards. Is there a way to wire it in ?
Hi. Unless your board specifically supports encoder input, then no. Usually, encoder feedback is only available on more expensive boards.
I figured it might not be to different then hooking up the hall effect sensor. Darn back to the drawing board.
Can you please help me to make a code for dmx stapper motor with encoder
How is the expandability of this board? Are there ports for communicating with multiple encoders?
Hi. The Acorn has only one encoder port for use with the spindle. Otherwise, it only outputs step and direction for the axis motors. However, Centroid has other more powerful boards that have full closed loop capabilities.
