We always hook up our USDigital Encoders as follows, using two PWM connectors to the GPIO pins on the digital sidecar:
+5 (orange) to the +5 pin of PWM connector #1
A (blue) to the signal pin on PWM connectore #1
Gnd (brown) to the ground pin of PWM connector #2
B (yellow) to the signal pin on PWM connector #2
Each PWM connector will then have one unconnected pin.
Place the two PWM cables into two GPIO inputs on the digital sidecar (make sure to connect them the right way round, with the signal pins in the appropriate spots). Then configure the software to recognize the encoder as being on those two GPIO pins.
Best regards,
