What voltage variant do I have?
On all ODrives shipped July 2018 or after have a silkscreen label clearly indicating the voltage variant. @@ -61,13 +61,13 @@ All non-power I/O is 3.3V output and 5V tolerant on input, on ODrive v3.3 and ne ### Wiring up the encoders Connect the encoder(s) to J4. The A,B phases are required, and the Z (index pulse) is optional. The A,B and Z lines have 3.3k pull up resistors, for use with open-drain encoder outputs. For single ended push-pull signals with weak drive current (\<4mA), you may want to desolder the pull-ups. -![Image of ODrive all hooked up](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vTCD0P40Cd-wvD7Fl8UYEaxp3_UL81oI4qUVqrrCJPi6tkJeSs2rsffIXQRpdu6rNZs6-2mRKKYtILG/pub?w=1716&h=1281) +![Image of ODrive all hooked up](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vTpJziAisrkvV1kTL4vckAJkmJ-BAvTwN1GeZZNCNwpTHv47Cf8bpz-gJqK2Z3un6FCHT4E-rcuUg6c/pub?w=1716&h=1281) ### Safety & Power UP
Always think safety before powering up the ODrive if motors are attached. Consider what might happen if the motor spins as soon as power is applied.
-* Unlike some devices, the ODrive does not recieve power over the USB port so the 24/48 volt power input is required even just to communicate with it using USB. It is ok to power up the ODrive before or after connecting the USB cable. +* Unlike some devices, the ODrive does not recieve power over the USB port so the 24/56 volt power input is required even just to communicate with it using USB. It is ok to power up the ODrive before or after connecting the USB cable. * To power up the ODrive, connect the power source to the DC terminals. Make sure to pay attention to the polarity. A small spark is normal. This is caused by the capacitors charging up. ## Downloading and Installing Tools
