There are encoder examples in LabVIEW. If you go to the help menu when LabVIEW is open you should be able to look up encoder examples. It will even show you how to hook them up to the RoboRio.
I'm referring to Light Emitting Diodes. The reason why I'm using LEDs is for our auxiliary "joystick" and beings that the controller board is using a USB composite, I have to reference it as a joystick in Labview (at least from what I remember). The LEDs are not integrated to the robot itself, it is located on the secondary drivers control board. The LEDs are being used as indicators for certain tasks.
