Connect BOOSTXL-POSMGR to Absolute Encoder

Connect the Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-POSMGR to Absolute Encoder as detailed in the following figure.

  • To Encoder - Use female to female hookup wires to wire the encoder to the header as shown in the following figure. The colors correspond to the encoder wires that are soldered to the connector.

  • 5V External Power Supply - Connect 5V and GND to the external power supply. Use 2 banana clip to mini grabber wires. Use 2 male to female hookup wires to connect from mini grabbers to the external 5V and GND.

  • controller mode - Use female to female hookup wire to jump pin 1 to pin 2 which sets the booster pack to controller mode.

  • External power mode - Use female to female hookup wire to jump pin 2 to pin 3 which sets the booster pack to external power mode.

Encoder Connections

Ensure the following wire connections are mapped to the absolute shaft encoder (BiSS).
