I'm surprised you could actually see the hi/lo voltage transitions with just a multimeter if you were measuring while running your autonomous routine. Are you sure that's what was done? I had suggested turning the encoder very slowly by hand.




Okay, my mentor told me that he was not really seeing a square wave however, he did see a spike in voltage and a drop in voltage. But we will try spinning it slowly by hand, we took the lazy way out last time because we did not really want to take the encoder off.
