Please start by explaining your algorithm in plain English. What you are trying to do. Your code/question does not make sense to me.

ok, we fixed the encoder b phase wiring. but still no success. the code has the robot raise its arm when the 3rd joystick goes forward, and then stops the arm when the encoder counts above 12

Stephen,

You've described what you expect the code to accomplish, but now we need to know what behavior you actually observe: Does the arm not move at all? Does it move without being commanded to? Does it start moving when you move the joystick, but not stop where you think it should? Does it move the wrong direction?

I bet I could imagine at least as many more failure modes. Please fill in a few more details, and we will be able to zero in on your problem more easily.

It might also be a good idea if you move this discussion to a separate thread.
