Re: Optical encoder not returning values
Just for a test, I connected a USdigital quad encoder to the crio using the included example encoder code and it worked great. Does that help? OK some LEDs are infrared so you wouldn't see anything but if you have connected 5V before and seen the led light... then of course the answer is yes. The USdigital encoder light is encased so I don't see light from mine.
