More importantly, it has a quadrature output so that you can determine direction in your code. |
Yes, this looks like a nice encoder.

As the company that hosts my web server decided to change the IP on me, you may or may not be able to get a copy of the code at this time. It should start working soon as I just updated the DNS record on my end. If you need the code in the mean time, feel free to drop me a note and I'll send it to you.

Yeah, I've been a real knuckle-head for not modifying the EDU-RC code to run on the FRC-RC. It's been on my to-do list for some time, but I just haven't had the time. I will, however, get it done before the kick-off.
