Hardware Setup
Auxiliary Connector, J8
The 15-pin DB style female connector contains connections for handwheel quadrature input, two
ADC inputs, one DAC output and one pulse and direction output. Please check the software setup
and connector pin out sections for more information on how to use each of these features.

Handwheel Wiring
The handwheel wiring should be done as shown in the following figure. You can use differential
or single-ended signals from any quadrature encoder. Make sure that you tie the ground
connection of the encoder to the ground connection of the J8 if you’re planning to use single-
ended encoder. Since there is no power output pin available on J8, you need to power up the
encoder from a separate source (a.e. JTHW).
