Re: WIRING AN ENCODER TO ROBORIO

I've done a bit of searching on this myself as someone who is using encoders for the first time on a robot.

What doesn't seem to be mentioned very often is that each encoder requires 2 DIO ports on the RoboRio. If I'm correct, I don't believe it matters which port of the 2 ports the ground and the +5v go into, but the two signal wires then go onto the signal pins for the 2 dedicated ports for that encoder.

Make sense? Feel free to correct me if you have a better idea on the subject. This is just what I've managed to dig up.
