Help with Encoder

We are using an encoder for the first time on our robot. Whenever we try to use it or declare it our robot doesnt work.

Code:

Encoder encoder = new Encoder(3, 4);

That is what we are using for the encoder and to get the values we are using.

Code:

encoder.get();

Can anyone help us set this up or provide a detailed tutorial for using an encoder in java?

EDIT: we have also tried using this.

Code:

Encoder encoder = new Encoder(3,4,false,EncodingType.k4x);

Re: Help with Encoder

Can you give error outputs or describe what values you are getting from encoder.get()? your initialization of the encoder seems to be fine.

Re: Help with Encoder

We don't get any erros and the output we get is 0 no matter how much we rotate the pole its attached too

Re: Help with Encoder

Between the first two bits of code you need to have encoder.start() somewhere.
