I agree, whatever you were trying to do with an incremental encoder on the controls side could probably be done with an absolute encoder with an analog output, or probably even a continuous pot.

I imagine the code would be simple enough to just check the value each cycle and compare it to previous to get the "distance traveled".

Big Caveat, It's been forever since I really sat down and programmed.
