Notes:
0 Just use 5v pulse generator (encoder) , higher than this will damage your BOB.
1 Plugin control RnRMoton "MPG disable" must not selected
2 Check Encoder in Setting Alt6 MPG Diagnstic MPG1 ,by rotating encoder you can see count and velocity ; just by settings in step 3, you can check encoder test
3 In Program Run Alt1 Tab key Jog Mode MPG, you can see selected axis and jog step
4 to select axis and jog step you must push side key
5 Default jog step is 1 for encoder without pressing side key , pressing side key equal to selected jog step
6 To calibrate your MPG: Function Cfg's Calibration of MPG's
7 Do not forget to save any changes in Config save settings..
