I'm confused . According to the Vex Shaft Encoder Manual, the Vex encoders do not plug into the Interrupts. They plug into any port on the Analog/Digital inputs. The Vex Ultrasonic Sensor plugs into the Interrupt ports, and from experience I've had working with the Ultrasonic Sensor, it only pings out when you tell it to in the code.
