If you are using the same definition of "pulses" that US Digital uses, for a quadrature encoder you cannot have an odd number of encoder pulses per motor rev if the encoder is mounted directly on the motor shaft.

Are you sure the encoder is mounted directly on the motor?

AndyMark sells a 7 "PPR" encoder, but that spec probably means 7 CPR (cycles per rev).

Interestingly, 497 = 71*7. Coincidence?
