Code for Optical Encoders

I've looked, but I haven't found any code for the optical shaft encoders. Anyone know of any resources for it? (Using MPLAB)

VexLabs has sensor test code as well as other Vex programming resources on the downloads page. The sensor test has sample code for the encoders in the user_routines_sensor_test_fast.c file.

WPILib also has built-in support for optical encoders (either quadrature or single-line). You just call a function to start it and another to get the value whenever you want it. You can get WPILib here.. WPILIb can be used with MPLab or eclipse and has a complete set of functions to support all the FIRST supplied sensors (including the CMU Camera) as well as a number of others.
