Thanks for any help you can provide.

The A & B lines connect to two different SIG (inside) pins, either interrupts (1-6) or simple digital inputs (7 and above).
Gnd connects to the ground or "black" (outside) digital pin
+5v connects to the center pin for your power.
Typically we connect the A, +5v, and Gnd to one of the digital input sets and the B line to another.
