Re: Reading Encoders?
The output values are easy to read. But they can be done only once you splice up the wires. I suggest you probe it on to a Oscilloscope and look at the quadrature signals. As you ramp up the motor, the signals should come closer to each other. If there's not a ton of noise, and if it looks "alright" then you should splice it. I wish they gave us two PWM outs instead of 1 4-lane cable.
Once you splice it and connect the correct A & B ports, then it's really simple, just go to WPI Libraries -> Sensors -> Encoders and do the usual thing with Open, Get, Close. Though, this time, you may want to fiddle around with the Configuring the Timers.
