Congratulations on going that far with your troubleshooting.

Then I tried the FRC LabVIEW Motor with encoder example and ran it. Motor outputs are fine but the encoder gave feedback this time. However, what happened is that it went from 0 to 0.003 something and back to 0, continually oscillating between the two whenever there was an output to the motor (and the shaft was actually spinning). At the bottom of the example the encoder alarm is always: "stopped" rather than moving.

Can you tell us
exactly how your encoder is wired? It sounds like at least one of the phases isn't getting through to the Digital Sidecar.
