Re: Quadrature Encoder Wiring to Digital Sidecar

The Labview Encoder Example has a picture of the wiring on the Front Panel.

Basically you want to use 1 full row of the Digital I/O on the Sidecar + 1 signal pin on an adjacent row. Wire +5 to the middle pin of the row, GND to outside pin (on the outside of the Sidecar), and Channel A to the inside pin of that row (Signal pin). Channel B should be wired to the Signal pin (inside pin) of an adjacent row.
