This is really nice. We've had problems over the years with wiring this kind of encoder, especially if we have to tweak it when it's already been installed. Can you post the PCB CAD and part number of the connector? I'd like to make a few of these for the coming season.

This is a great idea. The only thing I don't like about the Grayhill encoders is the connector pins that get bent out of shape so easily. We also have had issues with students feeling compelled to connect wires to all 5 pins when only 4 of them are needed. I don't remember what the extra pin is for, but I would be inclined to leave it off the breakout connector.
