Re: Encoder wiring

According to this documentation http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles...ual%20Rev1.pdf

there is only one signal wire used according to page four when outputting a PWM or analog value. Two wire is DIO, CLK. The encoder in the WPIlib is meant specifically for thr E4P optical encoder since that one needs two signal wires as a quadrature encoder.
