Re: How To Wire The Encoder
This thread has confused me a bit...

On the digital side car's digital input/output header, the ground pins are all tied together and the power pins are all tied together. There is nothing to force you to use the power or ground pin that correspond to a given I/O pin.

You need to pull (at least) one power line, (at least) one ground line and the two signal lines over to the encoder. If you want to pull plural power or ground, you may do so.

I think the easiest method might be to use a 1x4 cable and using the extra two power and ground pins that are in line with the signal pins.
