I am still in bed. Maybe that's the problem. I really need that first cup of coffee!
Sorry, guys - I promise not to try mental arithmetic in public again...

Looks like lots of options on there https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/displ...ect-relevancy-
but I wonder I may not have the right spindle and encoder settings .
Until I am confident of those then I might be flogging a dead horse replacing opto switches .
If I were confident of my settings being correct in Mach 3 then I could happily mess about with resistors and adjust positions until I can get light shining through the hole. and the little Indicator of the diagnostics screen illuminating
Still puzzles me how Boxford could supply this setup with 10v and not a resistor in sightLast edited by John11668; 08-11-2020 at 12:16 PM.

so at least you have proven the wiring is correct and the setup in Mach3 is also correct
just need the resistors and fit a new pair of optical sensors and you should be good to go

I think it depends where you live. In the UK postage is normally charged unless you order is over a certain amount at which point postage becomes free
I have a deal through work where by I get free postage and on most thinks a little off the price
I normally use CPC as they are local and if I need it quickly I can collect at their counter I find that I normally need something immediately so this works for me

Some of you are privileged but we have no branch of RS or CPC within range .
I do use RS for stuff like relays or Capacitors and the min order which I believe is £20 is usually covered
And I have ordered at 9 pm and found the goods on y doormat by first post following morning. Brilliant

I'm a grumpy old git, and rarely have much good to say about anything. But, to be fair, both Farnell and RS have in recent years come along in leaps and bounds for supplying to the general public. As with John's experience I've had good next day delivery on small orders. I do think both trade better in volume, more so RS and MoQ can sometimes be prohibitive, and the supply chain rigour can mean that you can find cheaper elsewhere on some things (connectors and cables especially). Farnell pee'd me off at work with two switches (£140 each) taking over 6 months for delivery - but that's exceptional.
What I'm trying to say is that both RS and Farnell are very accessible to Joe Public.
CPC - yeah, like Depronman, is local to me - it was bought out by Farnell years ago but is a poor substitute. Very handy for picking up bits on-the-day, but with my laziness it can be easier just to throw an order out for next day delivery from the big-two (particularly as CPC closed their trade counter at the weekend under Covid).
Rapid, also springs to mind as a good supplier.
