Hey. You’ve get same motor model as me 🙂

As you know I made my own chain motor mount for top beam. It let me connect any encoder directly to output shaft. There are magnetic disc and optic Quadrature encoders that will work in maslow cnc. Do we really need that big resolution?

I’ve got same encoder as yours(it’s different from maslow default encoder). It was working good for 3 months and now it started to miss steps.

I want to discuss this problem here 🙂 [Minimal encoder resolution](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/minimal-encoder-resolution/12304)

Imo the best way is to get diffrent encoder board or go for optic encoder.  
I re-soldered connectors to bigger raster 2.53mm then added 4x1 shielded cable for encoder and 2x1 to directly to encoder.  
It does help till yesterday day i found out bit is going deeper then it should.

Your hall sensor is just two hall sensors in one case. 4 pin wersion of dual hall sensor.
