Question How to implement an encoder with one speed clock, and one direction signal.

The encoder we are attempting to implement is not a quadrature encoder.

We are trying to use the Counter.h class in the WPILib to implement it.

When we used the Get() method in the Counter class, it returned a one or two, based on if we were using a k1X or a k2X reading.

When we used the GetDirection() method it returned a true, or false based on what direction the encoder is spinning.

We can't get the encoder to count past one or two. Any help appreciated.
