Re: Encoders to PWM

Encoders actually get plugged into the digital i/o section of the digital sidecar. You should hook up the leads of the encoder to 2 3-pin connectors with one having A and ground and the other having B and power (or vice versa - the important thing is that A and B are on separate connectors). Put A and B on the signal pins and power and ground on the appropriate pins.
