Thanks for posting the info Foobert.
I was surprized and perhaps a bit disappointed to see that the Vex User Manual addendum preview for the upcoming Optical Encoder Sensor instructs "You’ll need to plug your shaft encoder into any port in the Analog/Digital bank on the Vex Microcontroller."
I'm hoping the sensors will be able to utilize interrupts. I wonder if the outside pins on the interrupt section pin out the same as the analog/digital section and that either section can be used with many of sensors. I'm guessing one pin is +5V; the other ground? I suppose this could be a question for the IFI engineers, although there my be an info 'blackout' for sensor info until they're officially released.
