if (tempEncoder != prevEncoder) {
   printf("%d ", tempEncoder);
   prevEncoder = tempEncoder;
}

which screen will it print to when running the program? I know in the link cable program thing to download the (ifi loader) program, there's a little screen.
is it in that?
that would be hard to trace, because it prints out hundreds of lines, and there isn't a way to print or save it to a file for viewing. guess I can search it. thanks!

also, I don't know if it matters, but what are the three "..." periods for after the previous static encoder.
