Were in pretty deep here.

We tried the encoder on the cRio again to verify it works.
We tried a new encoder as well and that works.

We wrote a program that only reads an encoder.
We tried that on different ports.

(java)
m_encoder = new Encoder(2, 3, true);
...
m_encoder.get()... always returns 0.

We verified the Encoder class no longer needs .start();

We tried re-running the latest firmware on the roboRio. This did not help.

Where is the old firmware for the roboRio? We'd like to try that.
