Looking at the details on the encoder output, this is very poor and not even a connector accessible form the outside of the box, so will require going into the driver and connecting to the ABZ, but this is only 3.3V and also very unacceptable to esd and electrical noise.
If is was just a single ended encoder output with a good 5V signal and a connector on the outside of the box, then this would not be a problem, by connecting a standard board to convert from single ended to differential.
If you want me to put something on paper i can do.
It makes absolutely no sense to have a good driver like this being limited by no differential encoder output.
Thanks. Agreed. I like the drive, its nice kit. I love the open source idea but its not what I needed.
It feels like I bought a car with an Aircon and then when it doesn't work, I get told to have some pipes and gas installed to make it work.

Appreciate if you can draft something up for me and sent it across.

Many thanks.
