Re: How To Wire The Encoder
Essentially, you have the A-channel, B-channel, ground, and power terminals. So...supply the power and ground appropriately.

Unlike previous years, where interrupts were only available on certain pins the the PIC18, this year you get to pick the ports for each channel. Use the signal line and ground line of two 3-pin cables to attach the A-channel and B-channel to two GPIO connections on the digital side cars, select the appropriate pins when you program, verify operation...and you're all set.
