The palette of EasyC has blocks for an Optical Quadrature Encoder (2 channel output with direction sensing) and an Optical Encoder (VEX single output encoder).
The Optical Encoder was put there to support the VEX encoders but simply counts edges and can actually be used with any single output encoder you might have. In fact, you can use it to count pulses from any device including limit switches.
Just remember that the encoder must be used with inputs 1-6 and not any of the others.
