In this example, we are using the external lens encoder Indiemark II by LOLED.

  1. Install the external lens encoder onto a 15mm rod and attach the gear onto the lens**.**

  2. To send data and to power the lens encoder, attach a USB cable from the Rover to the lens encoder. For this example, the focus slot on the Rover is designated to the top left port.

  4. Rotate the focus ring to the closest focus distance ( or widest setting for Zoom and Aperture if Encoder is positioned that way) In this example, it is 22 cm.
