Hi thank you for your reply I may need to revert back to older version if I cant get information...many thanks though

If you have trouble getting what you need, let me know and I'll go onto chipmaker and ask.

Hi that's very kind of you. First is there any difference between the standard prototype and Nicholai67's board. Second I am using a standard type rotary encoder square wave do I need to short out where indicated. Little confused on this note posted earlier ..see pic

Hiya Stroheim, Yep , solder the jumpers. Nicholai 67 is better than the Oil Major's, if that's what U mean, cos it is the same format as the Mega.(physical shape).
The hand encoder is wired to the relevant plug/socket on the board, the Spindle encoder is wired to the input U referred to, the links soldered will transfer the quadrature signals to the Arduino Mega.

Hi thank you for replying. I have built the system but I have no LCD readout and several functions don't work. I have double checked all my wiring and seems ok. I suspect its because i am using the standard prototype board see pic and I should be using the Nicholai 67 board and I need to source one of them

Hiya Stroheim,
technically it shouldn't matter which breakout board is used, but the Nicholai 67 breakout adapter makes it fairly fool-proof.
And, U get the luxury job of crimping all those JST pins onto your loom wires! The appropriate too is required for that.
Without seeing exactly what U have done its hard to advise..
JLCPCB.COM in china can make the Nicholai 67 cheaply, but bear in mind those JST's. Of course U could simply sider the wires directly to the PCB
just "reorder " from my attached file reference- should work.
Cheers, stay safe.

Could someone be kind enough to post the Nicholai 67 breakout adapter gerbers please? I tried downloading them from the chipmaker.ru site, but had no luck.
Thanks!

Hiya Jazz,
After a bit of file searching i found em.
cheers,
Qtronpowerson.
note: This forum wont upload RAR files!
i got mine made by JLCPCB, China.
I have a spare if U like
