i got a pair a month or more ago at the rat shack, took one apart and said to myself, "self. with a couple of photo interrupters appropriately placed you could convert this thing to a quadrature encoder", but since i can't find the switches i got some time ago from budget robotics they've been sitting in the parts pile ever since. reckon i should hook 'em up and see what i can do. i don't have easy c, though, having ordered a prototype programmer from ifi over the summer. i got those mean old early adopter blues.
