Re: [Help] Problems with Encoders and PID Control

You probably already checked but...
Is the encoder getting power (3.3 or 5v?). Don't just inspect the wiring, probe the contact with a voltmeter and measure. Then do the same thing with quadA and quadB. They should drive high then drive low as you rotate the shaft. Basically it should square wave as you turn.

What kind of encoder?
