How to find connector pinouts of linear scale (linear encoder)? Ep.1

Reuse of a super-cheap old linear scale (linear encoder) bought at online auction. This is the first step to add DRO function to the milling machine.

For makers like me, it takes a lot of time and effort to make projects like this and put them in videos, so it's hard for me to post a video every week.
