  2. Assemble the encoder and wheel

Tap mounting adapters

Tap the Arduino and WAV Trigger mounts with #4-40 threads. Four locations per mount, as indicated with the yellow circle below: #4-40 tap locations for the Arduino and WAV Trigger mounts.

Next, tap the side of the BNC panel mount with #8-32 thread. You’ll need two pieces per setup: #8-32 tap location for the BNC panel mount

Assemble the encoder and wheel

Insert a #8-32 nut into the slot of the encoder mount. This allows you to connect the mount with a standard Thorlabs 1/2” diameter post: Insert a #8-32 nut into the encoder mount slot

Next, mount the HB5M encoder using four #4-40 screws: Mount the HB5M encoder.

Thread the “side” holes of the wheel adapter with a #4-40 tap, as shown below: Tap #4-40 holes on the side of the wheel adapter

Use a #4-40 set screw to secure the wheel adapter to the stem of the InnoVive wheel: Secure the adapter to the InnoVive wheel

Finally, secure the wheel and adapter to the encoder by using the set screws of the encoder: Connect the wheel and adapter to the encoder
