Slijin: the second part number connects to the header so you only need to match the wire color for gnd, +5v,A, & B edges. That's what I did anyway.

Ether: It's been a bit since I've looked at the code, so I'll answer with specifics later. I've been following your excellent Bang Bang controller posts. We are currently using LabView PID (with Ki=Kd=0). In the pits last Sat. We borrowed an rpm reader from TORC and were reading roughly +/- 40. It will be interesting to do some post season testing.

All: if you search the part number at DigiKey there are links for the spec sheets and an installation video.
