Re: Reusing encoders on new tough box mini

Whatever you do DO NOT TOUCH THE ENCODER DISK WITH BARE HANDS OR ANYTHING HARD. It's not the housing you worry about, it's the disk. Damaging the disk ruins the entire encoder - it won't read correctly anymore (the scratch will throw off the count, and if you bend it, all bets are off for it reading at all).
