Well its the stock code (downloaded from http://kevin.org/frc/frc_encoder.zip).

The encoders are Grayhill 63R128 (recommended from http://kevin.org/frc/encoder_faq.html)

The encoder is plugged in to Digital In/Out 1 and 6, with the power and ground connected to the Digital In/Out 5. Is this a possible problem?

The only other problem I could possibly see is that the FRC Robot Controller is from 2004. Could this be another possible problem?

Thank you in advance,

Update: We think it might be a problem with the computer. Whenever we program it the yellow program state is constantly orange. Any advice? We are going to try to steal the 2005 FRC Robot Controller from the builders.
