Re: encoders
ok, I'm assuming you have a quadrature encoder (this means there are 4 places to hook up wires on the encoder). 1 is the + power pin. 1 is the - (ground) pin. one is the phase -a pin, and one is the phase b pin. this requires two digital ports on the rc. I'm assuming you are using Kevin watson's encoder template (the only way to do this if your a beginner). hook up the +, -, and phase a wires on the digital io 1. then put the phase b wire on digital io (I think, but check the template read me provided b Mr. Watson) on digital io 6. this is how the "left" motor encoder, or w/e our using it for is hooked up.
don't feel too bad, I had this same problem about a month ago, I started a couple threads before I was able to understand it.
hope this helps,
Stephen
