Is there a way to see the readings of the encoder counts in the PID files, i tried adding in printf statements in the PID.c file where the encoder count values are being called:
long int Get_Encoder_Count(int motor)
{
if (motor == 0)
{
temp = Get_Left_Encoder_Count();
printf("/rLeft count: %5d", (int)temp);
return (temp);
}
else if (motor == 1)
{
temp = Get_Right_Encoder_Count();
printf("/rRight count: %5d", (int)temp);
return (temp);
}

but this just prints out the values of Right count: 0 and Left count: 0. Can anyone tell why this can be?

I know i am being annoying, but we are really desperate about this, so please keep the inputs flowing.

Thanks for your suport,
Vick.

How did you hook up the encoders (electrically and mechanically)?
