The encoders that come with the ToughBoxes? The cable has four colors. Brown is ground and should go to the - of a DIO on the Digital Sidecar. Orange is power and should go to the 5v of the same DIO. Yellow is (either A or B, I don't remember exactly right now) and should go to the SIGNAL of the same DIO. Blue is (B or A, whatever yellow isn't) and goes to the SIGNAL of another DIO. Leave the - and 5v of that second DIO unconnected.
