Re: Encoder Problems after update???

I ran the Encode Example as-is, and changed the IP of course, but nothing else.
Hooked up a VEX quad encoder to DIO 1 & 2.

It works fine counting up and down on the front panel display.

cRIO V20, LabVIEW Update 2.1
No Driver Station app. needs to be running for this particular test.

-------------------

If the above doesn't work for you, then I'd try a different encoder you can use just as an unmounted test case, and look closely at the wiring.
Did your electrical team use a scope when they tested the encoders before?
Did they test at the encoder end or at the DIO end of the connecting cable?

Or throw your zipped project up here so we can see what might be hidden and interfering.
