Most of the encoders used on FRC robots are quadrature encoders, which means they have four wires. They're usually four individual wires twisted together or a four wire ribbon cable, they're not really pwm wires. The way the digital sidecar is set up, you need to use three wire connectors, which is really inconvenient, but the new control system might have dedicated encoder inputs, which would be great.
